Biography

Dr. Yingge Du, PhD, is a senior staff scientist in the Materials Group of the Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate. He joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 2007 as a postdoctoral research fellow and became a staff member in 2010. Dr. Du is the recipient of a 2016 U.S. Department of Energy Early Career Award. This award will support him in conducting basic research that aims to understand, predict, and ultimately control cation/anion ordering and topotactic phase transitions occurring in transition metal oxide thin films. Achieving so will enable energy materials (e.g., catalysts, electrodes, and electrolytes) with desired functionalities to be designed, synthesized, stabilized, and harnessed for technological benefits.

His current research focuses on growth and characterization of epitaxial metal oxide films and superlattices for microelectronics, catalysis, and energy conversion and storage applications.
