He received his B.S. in chemical physics from the University of Science and Technology of China<\/strong> (USTC) at Hefei in 1998, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley<\/strong> with Professor Peidong Yang in 2003. He then did his postdoctoral research with Professor Galen D. Stucky at the University of California, Santa Barbara<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Prof. Yiying Wu joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of OSU in 2005, was promoted to associate professor in 2011 and to full professor in 2014. He received a Cottrell Scholar Award<\/a> from Research Corporation in 2008, an NSF Career Award<\/a> from National Science Foundation in 2010, and a CAPA Biomatik Distinguished Faculty Award<\/a> in 2014. Commissioner Brooks of the Franklin County of Ohio also award Prof. Yiying Wu a Commissioner\u2019s Award<\/a> for his contribution in renewable energy technologies. In 2011, he was ranked #6<\/em> worldwide on the Times Higher Education \u201cTop Materials Scientists of the Past Decade<\/a>\u201d. In 2014, Wu group founded KAir Battery, LLC<\/a> for the research and development of KAir battery technology. In 2015, Dr. Wu was named 40 under 40<\/a> by Midwest Energy News. Prof. Yiying Wu is also an associate editor for ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces<\/em>.<\/p>\n
