Professor Wei You obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1999. He studied for his PhD at the University of Chicago with Professor Luping Yu, and finished his postdoctoral training at Stanford University in 2006 with Professor Zhenan Bao. In July 2006, Dr. You joined the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry, and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor in 2012. He has been awarded a DuPont Young Professor Award (2008), a NSF CAREER Award (2010), a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award (2011), a Tanner Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching (2011), and a CAPA Distinguished Junior Faculty Award (2012). His group is currently investigating multifunctional materials for various applications, including conjugated polymers and small molecules for organic solar cells and molecular spintronics/electronics, and new bio-compatible/degradable materials for biomedical applications.
