武汉理工大学王涛课题组

The Tao Wang Research Group

Prof. Tao Wang received a B.S. in Polymer Materials (2002) and an M.S. in Materials Science (2005). He obtained his Ph.D. in Soft Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Surrey (UK) in Feb. 2009, under the supervision of Prof. Joe Keddie. He then took a post-doc position in the same group until Oct. 2009 when he moved to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield (UK), where he worked with Prof. Richard Jones, FRS and Prof. David Lidzey on organic solar cells. He was awarded funding from “Recruitment Program of Global Experts” (The Thousand Talents Plan) of China in 2013 and was appointed professor in the School of Materials Science & Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology (China). His research interests are optoelectronic devices, polymer physics and polymer materials.
