Yadong Wang holds dual PhDs in Advanced Materials and Ultrafast Optics from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in China and Aalto University in Finland. His research has focused on exploring the physical properties of nanomaterials and applying them to photonic devices such as mode-locked lasers, optical modulators, ultrafast switches, and logic gates.
Following his doctoral studies, Yadong joined the University of Sheffield as a postdoctoral researcher, to further enhance nonlinear optical properties through strong coupling with novel optical cavities. In 2022, he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship to continue his research in the group of Prof. Alexander Tartakovskii at the University of Sheffield.
Yadong’s current research interests include polariton condensation in novel nanophotonic structures using both organic and inorganic materials. He is also investigating long-range polariton propagation in molecular photonic systems.
Outside of research, Yadong enjoys socializing and forming new connections with people from diverse backgrounds. He also likes watching movies, and spending time in nature.
