Dr. Chih-Liang Wang is a faculty member in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. His research focuses on energy-related functional materials and nanostructured catalysts for electrochemical applications, including fuel cells and batteries. Dr. Wang’s work emphasizes materials synthesis, thin-film engineering, and surface and interface modification, with particular interest in microwave-assisted synthesis and atomic layer deposition (ALD). His research aims to bridge fundamental materials science with practical energy-device performance. Through the International Internship Pilot Program (IIPP), Dr. Wang welcomes motivated undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in gaining hands-on laboratory experience, learning advanced experimental techniques, and participating in collaborative research within an international academic environment.

The laboratory focuses on the development and characterization of advanced materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Our research integrates materials synthesis, nanostructure design, and electrochemical evaluation to investigate how material properties influence performance and stability in energy-related systems. We employ a range of experimental techniques, including microwave-assisted synthesis, atomic layer deposition (ALD), and electrochemical measurements. Students in the laboratory are trained to understand both experimental procedures and the underlying scientific principles. The research environment emphasizes hands-on learning, teamwork, and regular discussion, providing students with a solid foundation in experimental research and scientific problem-solving. International interns in our laboratory will participate in practical research activities such as materials preparation, surface modification, electrode fabrication, and basic electrochemical testing. Projects are designed to be suitable for undergraduate- and master’s-level students, with clear objectives and structured guidance. Interns will work alongside graduate students and receive direct supervision from the PI. The internship aims to help students gain experience in a real research environment, develop experimental skills, and understand how materials research contributes to energy-related technologies.
