ulisesm@chalmers.se

Ulises A. Médez-Romero received his BSc in nanotechnology from Universidad de las Américas Puebla in Mexico in 2015. In 2017 he obtained his MSc in materials science from Centro de Investigación en Materiales Avanzados (Cimav) in Mexico. In 2017 he started a double doctoral degree in both Cimav and Chalmers University of Technology, at Division of Applied Chemistry under the supervision of Professor Ergang Wang. He remains as a postdoc in the same group after defending his PhD in Nov. 2021. His research is mainly focused on the synthesis and functionalization of 2D materials and their application in energy storage.

Josué Mena Gómez from Sept. 2022
Josué Mena Gómez has a PhD in Materials Science from Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona, Spain and currently is a Researcher at Ergang’s group. His current research is mainly focused on the development and integration of 2D materials into thermal management platforms.

Project: Efficient and Stable Organic Solar Cells Based on Novel Material Structure

I received my M.S. degree in Chemistry from Soochow University in 2020. Currently, I am a PhD student in Aalborg University. My research interests focus on the synthesis and application of organic photovoltaic materials.

Krzysztof Kotewicz

PhD student since 9/2021

His research focus is on the synthesis of conjugated materials and 2D materials for organic light-emitting electrochemical cells and supercapacitors. He is trying to use green chemistry and nature-derived materials for a sustainable future.

Jinhui Zhao from Sept. 2022

Jinhui Zhao received his master’s degree from Changzhou University in China in 2021. From 2022, he joined a double doctoral degree programme between Flinders University and Chalmers University of Technology, under the supervision of Professor Mats Andersson and Ergang Wang. His research focuses on designing and synthesizing new materials for biodegradable applications and conjugated materials for organic solar cells.

Tadele Tamenu is a PhD student at Addis Ababa Univerity and now a guest PhD student in Ergang Wang’s group. His PhD research emphasizes designing, synthesizing, and characterization of new conjugated organic materials for optoelectronic applications.
