Chang-Yong received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Pennsylvania in 2007 for his work on the synthesis and nanoelectronic device applications of GaN nanowires (with the late John E. Fischer). From 2007 to 2010, he was a Goldhaber Distinguished Fellow at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials, Brookhaven National Laboarotry (BNL) (with Charles T. Black), where his research was focused on correlating optoelectrical and structural properties of organic semiconductors with their photovoltaic and electronic device performances. 

Chang-Yong's current research addresses two focused areas: (a) Development and application of atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques towards the materials innovation in microelectronics and energy conversion technologies; (b) Materials processing and device physics in organic semiconductors and low-dimensional materials including nanowires and two-dimensional materials.
