Welcome to the Fang Research Group at Michigan State University! Our research focuses on developing new materials and chemistry, multiscale quantitative characterization, and scalable processing and manufacturing for energy storage and conversion. We are particularly interested in understanding and controlling the chemistry, structure, and behavior of materials and interfaces far from equilibrium, exploring how chemical reactions, external physical fields, and processing conditions govern phase formation, defect chemistry, and interfacial transformations. By connecting fundamental chemical understanding with advanced materials design and scalable technologies, we aim to enable innovative solutions for sustainable energy storage and conversion, accelerating electrification and a more resource-efficient energy future.
