学术经历：
2008年毕业于中国科学技术大学，2008至2015年先后在香港城市大学、日本产业技术综合研究所（AIST）、日本里化学研究所（RIKEN）和美国得州大学奥斯丁分校从事博士后研究。2015年加入苏州大学功能纳米与软物质实验室。
研究方向：
目前全球储能技术主要有物理储能（如抽水储能、压缩空气储能等）、化学储能（如液流电池、超级电容器等）和电磁储能（如超导电磁储能等）三大类。而化学储能技术是解决太阳能、风能等可再生能源发电系统随机性和间歇性非稳态特征的有效方法，是实现电网互动化管理的关键，因此在可再生能源发电和智能电网建设中有着重大需求。本课题组的主要研究方向主要围绕基于组合电解液的碱金属液流电池、传统锂离子电池和固体氧化物燃料电池的关键性材料和组件而展开。具体来说涵盖以下三个方面：关键电极材料和固态电解质的制备及性能调控；针对不同电极材料的高效能催化剂的研究；氧化还原液流电池和固体氧化物燃料电池电极结构的设计、性能优化和创新。
招生、招聘信息：
本课题组热忱欢迎有志从事科研工作的本科生、硕士研究生和博士研究生到课题组学习工作。欢迎具有化学、材料、或物理背景的本科生报考。
根据课题组发展需要，现拟招收2名博士后研究人员或研究助理，有相关电化学储能研究经验的申请者优先考虑。我们将提供极具竞争力的薪酬和不少于半年的国外访学机会。
