Jianwen Liang

Principal Investigator

Solid-State Energy Laboratory

Liang Jianwen, Associate Professor and Ph.D. advisor, was selected for the national “Overseas High-Level Young Talents Program” and has been consecutively named to the list of the world’s top 2% of scientists. He graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2015 with a Ph.D. in Science under the guidance of Academician Qian Yitai; he subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at Shandong University and Western University in Canada, among others, and was supported by the Mitacs-Accelerate Fellowship during his postdoctoral studies. He has participated in or led research projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology’s Major Special Projects for Young Scientists, the “Made in China 2025” China-Canada Joint Laboratory for Solid-State Batteries, the Ontario Next-Generation All-Solid-State Battery Research Project, and the Mitacs-Accelerate Industrial Research Project. He has published more than 160 SCI-indexed papers in international journals such as *Nature Energy*, *Journal of the American Chemical Society*, *Nature Communications*, *Accounts of Chemical Research*, *Angewandte Chemie International Edition*, and *Advanced Materials*, and has filed multiple international and Chinese invention patents. His research spans fundamental scientific questions regarding solid-state ion conduction to the engineering of solid-state electrolyte materials and the development of all-solid-state battery technology, combining both basic research and industrial applications.
