Fudong Han

Fudong Han is an associate professor and Priti and Mukesh Chatter '82 Career Development Chair in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He received his BS degree in 2009 and his MS degree in 2012, both in Materials Science and Engineering from Shandong University in China, and his PhD degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, where he also did one-year postdoctoral research. He was a guest scientist in the Materials for Energy and Sustainable Development Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Working at the interface between electrochemistry and materials science, the Han Research Group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute aims to understand the fundamentals of materials to identify and address key performance, cost, and manufacturing challenges of battery technologies for transportation electrification and grid storage. He has published more than 90 papers in scientific journals, including Nature Energy, Nature Materials, Nature Chemistry, Nature Review Materials, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Joule, Advanced Materials, Energy and Environmental Science. He has been a Highly Cited Researcher in cross-field by Clarivate since 2022. He is a recipient of the Materials Research Society Nelson “Buck” Robinson Science and Technology Award for Renewable Energy, ARPA-E IGNIITE Award, NSF CAREER Award, Electrochemical Society Electrodeposition Division Early Career Investigator Award, Electrochemical Society Battery Division Student Research Award, and Materials Research Society Graduate Student Gold Award. He is also a recipient of the James M. Tien '66 Early Career Award and the School of Engineering Research Excellence Award at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
