The Tao Wang Research Group

        Wei Li is currently a tenure-track professor in the School of Materials Science & Engineering at Wuhan University of Technology. He received a B.S. in Composite Materials & Engineering at University of Jinan in 2013, and obtained his M.S. and Ph.D in Materials Science at Wuhan University of Technology in 2016 and 2019, respectively. He then moved to UK to take a post-doc position working with Dr. Ardalan Armin and Prof. Paul Meredith at Department of Physics, Swansea university from 2019.7 to 2021.12. His research focuses on organic semiconducting materials and devices.
