Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States
Dr. Wei-Chang David Yang is a materials research engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), leading the metrology research for environmental transmission electron microscopy. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from Purdue University. Before his current appointment, he conducted his postdoctoral research at NIST, advised by Dr. Renu Sharma, developing in-situ and operando methods for S/TEM to measure dynamic processes. His current research focuses on nanoscale light-matter interactions in materials that potentially impact direct air capture technology, catalysis for carbon conversion, and emerging semiconductors for nanoelectronics. His work on plasmonic photochemistry gained him the Early Career Award from the Nanometer-scale Science and Technology Division of the American Vacuum Society in 2019. He was also awarded the Microscopy Society of America’s Postdoctoral Scholar Award in 2019.
