About

Yet-Ming Chiang is a pioneering materials scientist whose research spans energy storage, electrochemistry, and nanomaterials, with transformative contributions to lithium-ion batteries and sustainable energy technologies. He is best known for his groundbreaking work on high-capacity electrode materials, including the development of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) as a safe, long-life cathode, which revolutionized electric vehicle and portable electronics batteries. His research on nanostructured materials for energy storage has led to over 167 citations for his early work on protein crystal growth, but his broader impact is reflected in tens of thousands of citations across his career. Chiang co-founded several influential companies, including A123 Systems, which commercialized advanced lithium-ion batteries, and Form Energy, which focuses on long-duration grid storage. His notable achievements include the 2012 Electrochemical Society Battery Division Technology Award and election to the National Academy of Engineering. Through his blend of fundamental science and entrepreneurial innovation, Chiang has shaped the modern energy landscape, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the intersection of materials science, electrochemistry, and clean energy solutions.
