Biography
Dr. Kai Yang is a Lecturer of Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) in University of Surrey. He received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Advanced Materials in Peking University in Prof. Feng Pan’s group. He also received his B.S. degree in Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering at the School of Aerospace, Tsinghua University. His research interests mainly rely on developing in-situ characterizations for interfacial research in energy storage/conversion material and devices, developing next-generation high performance energy storage systems, developing advanced carbon dioxide fixation and utilization technologies (e.g., metal-CO2 battery, CO2 electrochemical reduction), developing integrated on-chip platforms for energy/electrocatalyst discovery and characterizations, and developing microbatteries for IoT applications. Now, he is in charge of the Electrochemical Characterisation Lab in ATI.
