Mingyang Wei

Dr. Mingyang Wei is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He holds a B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University (2016) and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto (2020). Prior to joining NUS, he was a scientist at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland (2021-2024). His research focuses on hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors for energy-conversion technologies, including perovskite solar cells, optoelectronic devices, and advanced interface engineering.

• Awards: Canadian Governor General’s Gold Medal (2020), Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (2021), Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher (2022–2023), NUS Presidential Young Professor (2024)

Research interests:

• Hybrid heterostructure design for energy-efficient optoelectronics
• Advanced spectroscopic analysis of interfacial properties
• Stable perovskite-based photovoltaic and light-emitting devices

Key contributions include developing crystal capping layers for black-phase perovskites and self-assembled bilayers for thermal stability. His work spans 20+ high-impact publications in journals like Nature, Science, and Advanced Materials. Current openings exist for postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in materials chemistry, semiconductor physics, and optoelectronics.
