Prof. Song Jin's Biography:

Prof. Song Jin received his B.S. in Chemistry from Peking University in 1997, Ph.D. in 2002 from Cornell University with Prof. Francis DiSalvo and carried out his postdoctoral research with Prof. Charles Lieber at Harvard University. Dr. Jin is interested in chemistry, physics and technological applications of nanoscale and solid-state materials. Dr. Jin developed innovative nanomaterials synthesis of metal chalcogenides, silicides, and halide perovskites, and the screw dislocation-driven growth of nanomaterials. Jin advances the exploitation of (nano)materials for electrocatalysis, solar energy conversion, energy storage, optoelectronics, spintronics, and biotechnology. Dr. Jin has authored over 300 publications and 14 patents. He has been recognized with an NSF CAREER Award, a Research Corporation Cottrell Scholar Award, the ACS ExxonMobil Solid State Chemistry Fellowship, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, the ACS Inorganic Nanoscience Award, and an ECS and MRS Fellow. He also serves as a Senior Editor for ACS Energy Letters since 2007 and an Executive Editor since 2026.
