Chengjun YU

Chengjun Yu has a diverse work experience. Chengjun started their career as a POSTECH Summer Research Intern at Pohang University of Science and Technology in 2011, where they focused on the microstructural evolution in an Al-6061 alloy. In 2014, they returned to the same university as a Visiting Master Intern, studying Prussian blue analogues as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Chengjun then went on to work as a Visiting Scholar at KU Leuven for a short period in 2015, contributing to the Red Mud Project as part of the EU Horizon 2020 MSCA-ETN. From 2017 to 2020, Chengjun worked as a Research Fellow (PhD) at Universitetet i Sørøst-Norge. In 2021, they joined ShanDong ShengDa Intellectual Property as an Assistant of International Director, handling international and domestic patent applications. Later that year, Chengjun became a Senior R&D Engineer at Amperex Technology Limited, where they focused on NMC and LFP recipes/formulations for high power and low-cost applications, respectively. In 2022, they worked as a Reviewer for the International Science Council on the Frontiers Planetary Prize. Currently, Chengjun holds the position of Process Engineer at Morrow Batteries, starting in 2023.

Chengjun YU has a diverse education history with a focus on materials engineering and related fields. In 2008, Chengjun obtained a Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology Beijing. Afterward, in 2012, Chengjun pursued a Master's degree in Material Science and Metallurgy at KU Leuven.

Chengjun's educational journey continued with various visiting student and research assistant experiences. In 2011, Chengjun spent time at Pohang University of Science and Technology as a Visiting Student and Research Assistant in Materials Science and Technology. Chengjun later extended their experience in chemical engineering as a visiting student at Pohang University of Science and Technology in 2014.

Chengjun further expanded their knowledge through international programs. They participated in the EU Erasmus Mundus Joint Master's program where they obtained a Master's Degree in Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion (MESC) at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne (Amiens) in 2014. They further pursued an Erasmus Mundus Master's program in Materials Science and Electrochemistry at Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse III in 2013.

Continuing their academic journey, Chengjun completed a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in Materials Engineering at KU Leuven in 2016. They followed this achievement with a PhD program in Microsystem Technology at the University of South-Eastern Norway, which they completed in 2020. During this period, Chengjun also undertook a visiting PhD student position at the University of Oslo (UiO) in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences from 2018 to 2019.

Overall, Chengjun's education history demonstrates a deep interest in materials science, engineering, and related fields, with significant international exposure and research experience.
