Hong Jin Fan

Dr. Fan is a Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. His PhD project was Brillouin spectroscopy of acoustic phonons of porous silicon and phase-change materials. His postdoc research in Germany was about patterned growth of ZnO nanowire arrays, and in Cambridge he worked on ferroelectric microtubes. In NTU, his research interests focus on exploring new energy materials and understanding their functions in energy conversion and storage processes, including catalysis for hydrogen generation, new redox batteries and flexible energy devices.

Dr. Fan widely collaborates. He has co-authored 270 journal papers with an H-index of 89. He has been recognized as Highly Cited Researcher consecutively since 2016 by Clarivate Analytics. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Materials Today Energy, and editorial/advisory board member of many journals including Energy and Environmental Sciences, Advanced Science, and a few Materials Today series journals. Prof Fan has co-organized numerous international symposia including Materials Research Society (MRS), American Chemical Society (ACS) in the US and ICMAT in Singapore.
