Lain‐Jong Li

Dr. Lain-Jong Li received a BSc and an MSc in chemistry at the National Taiwan University. After 5 years of R&D at the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (1997-2002), he obtained his PhD in condensed matter physics from Oxford University, United Kingdom in 2006. He was an assistant professor in the school of materials science and engineering at Nanyang Tech. Univ. Singapore (2006-2009). Since 2010, he has become an Associate prof. at Academia Sinica Taiwan. He started his Associate Professorship in KAUST, Saudi Arabia in 2014 and became a full professor in 2016. He joined TSMC as a research director from 2016 to 2020. He has taken up the Chair Professorship from University of Hong Kong (2021-2024). He joined National University of Singapore as an Distinguished Professor in the end of 2024. He is a highly cited scholar in 2018,2019 and 2020. Dr. Lain-Jong Li (Lance Li) has been working on the electronic structures, properties and applications of carbon nanotubes, graphene and other two-dimensional materials. His current research interests are in the following areas: • Chemical vapor deposition and characterizations of 2-dimensional materials including graphene and its analogue such as MoS2 and WSe2. • Energy-related applications based on 2-dimensional materials, such as energy storage, hydrogen generation and low-power electronics.
