9月3日，美国威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校Prof. Song Jin来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为师生们作题为“Dislocation-Driven Nanomaterial Growth and Solar Energy Conversion Using Earth-Abundant Nanomaterials”的学术报告。

报告人简介
　　Song Jin is the professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Ph.D. in 2002 from Cornell University under the direction of Prof. Francis J. DiSalvo and carried out his postdoctoral research under the direction of Prof. Charles M. Lieber at Harvard University. Prof. Jin is interested in the chemistry and physics of nanoscale materials and solid state materials and their applications, especially in renewable energy. Prof. Jin developed innovative synthesis of a variety of nanomaterials including metal silicides, oxides and chalcogenides, and developed fundamental understanding of screw dislocation-driven growth of nanomaterials in the context of crystal growth theory. Building on the understanding of novel physical properties, Jin advances the interdisciplinary exploitation of (nano)materials for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion, thermoelectric energy conversion, energy storage, nanospintronics, and biotechnology. The unifying theme of Jin’s energy research is the focus on earth-abundant materials. Prof. Jin has authored or co-authored 4 patents and 87 publications. He has been recognized with a NSF CAREER Award, a Research Corporation Cottrell Scholar Award and as one of world’s top 35 innovators under the age of 35 (TR35 Award) by the MIT Technology Review Magazine, the ACS ExxonMobil Solid State Chemistry Fellowship, and the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. Most recently he received the Research Corporation SciaLog Award for Solar Energy Conversion and U. of Wisconsin-Madison Vilas Associate award and Romnes Faculty Fellowship
