Deli Wang (School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology) received her PhD degree at Wuhan University (under the supervision of Prof. Lin Zhuang) in 2008. From 2008 to 2012, she worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Fuel Cell Research Center of Nanyang Technological University and then in Prof. Héctor D. Abruña’s group at Cornell University. At the beginning of 2013, she joined the Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a professor in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Her research interests mainly focused on developing high-performance nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage.
