Fei Huang is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at South China University of Technology. He earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Peking University in 2000 and a PhD in materials science from South China University of Technology in 2005. From 2005 to 2009, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Washington in Seattle. He joined South China University of Technology as a professor in 2009 and has served as deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Luminescent Materials and Devices since 2011.
Huang Fei's research focuses on the molecular design, synthesis, characterization, and applications of novel organic polymer optoelectronic materials in devices such as polymer light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and biosensors. He has received numerous awards, including the Guangdong Science and Technology Award (Natural Science) First Prize in 2008, the National Natural Science Award Second Prize in 2010 and 2015, the Chinese Chemical Society Young Chemist Award in 2011, the Ministry of Education Higher Education Scientific Research Outstanding Achievement Award First Prize in 2014, the American Chemical Society Arthur K. Doolittle Award in 2014, and the Ministry of Education Young Scientist Award in 2016. He has been supported by programs including the Ministry of Education New Century Excellent Talents Plan, the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, and the Ministry of Science and Technology Young and Middle-aged Science and Technology Innovation Leading Talents. He has led major projects such as the 973 Program on high-efficiency organic/polymer solar cell materials and devices. Huang Fei has authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals on topics including conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications and holds several patents related to organic light-emitting devices.
