Biography

Yameng Ren is an associate professor in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He received his Ph.D. degree in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2018. Then he conducted his postdoctoral research from 2019 to 2023 in the Prof. Michael Graetzel’group at Swiss Federal institute of Lausanne (EPFL). After that he moved to Technical University of Munich (TUM) to continue his research as a Marie Curie fellow working with Prof. Nicolas Plumeré. His research focuses on the precise construction of organic functional materials, the design of hybrid chemical-biological electrodes and their photoelectrochemical transformations, and his research results have been published in Nature, Nat. Commun. J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater., Energy Environ. Sci., and other international high-level academic journals.
