Wei Chen received his Ph.D. in electrochemistry from Xiamen
University under the direction of Professor Shi-Gang Sun in 2003.
Following his graduate studies, he began working as a postdoctoral
associate in the area of synthesis and the property studies of
metal nanoclusters at University of California-Santa Cruz. He is
currently a full professor at State Key Laboratory of
Electroanalytical Chemistry, Changchun Institute of Applied
Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research interests
include the controlled synthesis, characterization, and
applications of nanomaterials, especially the metal nanoclusters,
in fuel cells, solar cells, optical devices; interfacial
engineering and electron transfer properties of functional metal
nanoparticles; surface electrochemistry, electroanalytical
chemistry and spectroelectrochemistry.
Shaowei Chen completed his undergraduate education at the
University of Science and Technology of China with a B.Sc. degree
in Chemical Physics in 1991. He then attended Cornell University,
receiving his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry in 1993 and
1996, respectively. Following a postdoctoral appointment at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he started his
independent career in 1998 in Southern Illinois University –
Carbondale. He moved to the University of California – Santa Cruz
in 2004 and is currently a Professor of Chemistry. His research is
mainly focused on nanoscale functional materials and their electron
transfer chemistry. So far he has published more than 100 research
articles in peer-reviewed journals, co-edited two monographs and
contributed five book chapters.
