Polymer Materials for Energy and Electronic Applications

Huisheng Peng received his BEng in Polymer Materials from Donghua University in China in 1999, MSc in Polymer Science from Fudan University in China in 2003 and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Tulane University in USA in 2006. He worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2006 to 2008. Dr. Peng has been appointed as a Professor at Department of Macromolecular Science at Fudan University since October 2008. He is a pioneer of the fiber-shaped energy harvesting and storage device. Xuemei Sun received her BEng in Polymer Materials and Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in 2008 and PhD in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics at Fudan University in 2013. After her postdoctoral research, she joined Fudan University as an Associate Professor in 2015. Her work centers on the responsive polymer/carbon nanotube composite materials. Wei Weng is currently a lecturer at the College of Materials Science and Engineering and State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials at Donghua University. He received his BEng in Materials Science and Engineering in 2005 and PhD in Materials Science in 2011, both at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research focuses on carbonaceous nanomaterials and high-performance composites mainly for energy storage devices, sensors and aerospace applications. Xin Fang is currently a PhD student in University of Cambridge (UK). He gained his master's degree from Fudan University (China). In his master's projects, Xin focused on developing and translating carbon nanomaterials into applicable electrodes in wearable energy devices including dye-sensitized solar cells, lithium sulphur batteries and supercapacitors. Xin is now working at artificial photosynthesis in his doctoral study.
