Jia Wang

Jia Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Umeå University, Sweden. Their research focuses on low-dimensional semiconductor materials, including organic, inorganic, and hybrid systems, with applications in energy conversion, optoelectronics, and biomedicine. They specialize in luminescent nanomaterials such as quantum dots and carbon nanodots, particularly exploring sustainable synthesis methods using biomass-derived precursors.

Key research themes include developing carbon dots for biomedical applications (e.g., neurite outgrowth promotion), optoelectronic devices (e.g., LEDs with high color purity), and energy-efficient materials. Their work emphasizes environmental sustainability, leveraging green chemistry principles and renewable resources.

Publications highlight innovations in nanomaterials engineering, including ligand engineering for perovskite quantum dots and the development of metal-free TADF emitters for light-emitting electrochemical cells. Collaborations span materials science, chemistry, and biomedical engineering.

Teaching includes master-level courses on solar cells, reflecting expertise in energy conversion technologies. Research is conducted via the OPEG (Organic and Perovskite Electronics Group) section at Umeå, with ongoing projects on novel materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices.
