Dr. Jianyong Ouyang is an associate professor at the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, National University of Singapore. He received his PhD, master and bachelor degrees from the Institute for Molecular Science in Japan, the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Department of Chemistry at Tsinghua University in China, respectively. He worked as a visiting scientist at the Institute for Molecular Science in Japan, an assistant professor at the Japanese Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles before joining the National University of Singapore in 2006. He was a visiting scholar at Stanford University from Jan. 2018 to Nov. 2018. He invented the first polymer/nanoparticle memristor (2004), the first hybrid ionic/electronic thermoelectric converter (2020), the first adhesive intrinsically conducting polymers (2020), demonstrated the first application of flexible strain sensors for food processing monitoring (2021), discovered photon-enhanced Seebeck effect (2021) and the first ductilization of polymers (2022), and continually reported world-record conductivities and thermoelectric properties of solution-processable conducting polymers and world-record thermoelectric properties of ionic conductors. He is listed in the World top 2% Scientists by Stanford University, ranked at 12,865 of all areas in terms of career and 3,362 of all areas. [Google Scholar Link]
