Self-introduction

Yang WANG was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China in 1987. He obtained his bachelor and M.S. degree from Northwestern Polytechnical University and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Supported by the Japanese Government (MEXT Scholarship), he then moved to Tokyo Institute of Technology and earned his Master and Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Tsuyoshi Michinobu in 2017. During the doctor course, he worked for three months as a visiting research associate under the supervision of Prof. Kazuo Takimiya at RIKEN. Currently, he works as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology. His research is focusing on the design and synthesis of n-type conjugated polymers for non-fullerene organic solar cells, n-channel organic thin film transistors and organic thermoelectric applications. His research interests also include the synthesis of small molecules, organic/inorganic hybrid materials, and related optoelectronic devices.
