Tanghong Yi

Tanghong Yi has a wealth of experience in the field of science and research. Starting in 2003 as a student at the University of Science and Technology of China, they then went on to become a visiting student at MIT in 2005 and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2006. In 2006 they also took on a role as a research assistant at the University of New Orleans, where they studied materials for lithium-ion batteries. In 2007 they became a research and teaching assistant at UC Davis. From 2012 to 2014 they were a Postdoc Fellow at Berkeley Lab where they evaluated and optimized full cell performance of lithium manganese rich layered high capacity cathode and Si anode with conductive polymer coating and conductive binder. Tanghong also worked on conventional and novel electrode materials for next generation batteries, such as spinel oxides, oxyfluorides and fluorides phase. From 2014 to 2015 they were a Postdoctoral Fellow and Scientist II at Argonne National Laboratory and a Senior Principal Scientist, Principal Scientist, Lead Scientist and Scientist at Wildcat Discovery Technologies.

Tanghong Yi obtained a BS in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2005. Tanghong then went on to obtain an MS in Materials Science/Chemistry from the University of New Orleans in 2007. Finally, they obtained a PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Davis in 2012.
