Yushin is still serving  as CTO, being full professor at Georgia Tech and Editor-in-Chief of Materials Today. During his time at Drexel he started to work on electrochemistry (his PhD was on diamond films) and energy storage, published his first highly-cited papers, filed for patents, started a company with Dr. Gogotsi (Y-Carbon). He successfully continued after joining Georgia Tech faculty. His work of Si anodes, which was published in Science, led him eventually to founding Sila Nano, together with Gene Berdichevsky, who was employee #7 at Tesla at its early days.

Congratulations to Kanit Hantanasirisaku for Being Selected to Participate in the Global Young Scientists Summit

DNI PhD student Kanit Hantanasirisaku was selected from a very large number of nominations to participate in the Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS), where more than 20 Nobel Laureates, Fields medal, Turing award winners, and others will be sharing their research and experience (Global Young Scientists Summit (nrf.gov.sg)). Some featured talks include Prof. Stanley Whittingham (2019 Nobel in Chemistry), Prof. Robert Langer (2008 Millenium prize, Moderna cofounder), Prof. William Phillips (1997 Nobel in Physics, he will talk about the new SI unit), and Prof. Thomas Cech (1989 Nobel in Chemistry, he will talk about the CRISPR for DNA sequencing). Kanit will also join Prof. Stanley Whittingham on a small group discussion on Thursday night, hopefully to hear his view on the future of batteries.

Since the conference is online, you can also listen to the talks from this YouTube channel (National Research Foundation Singapore – YouTube).
