Ying Shirley Meng (Chinese: 孟穎; pinyin: Mèng Yǐng) is a Singaporean-American materials scientist and academic. She is a professor at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS) chief scientist at Argonne National Laboratory.[1] Meng is the author and co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed journal articles, two book chapter and six patents. She serves on the executive committee for battery division at the Electrochemical Society[2] and she is the Editor-in-Chief for MRS Energy & Sustainability.[3][4]

Education and career

[edit]

Meng studied materials engineering at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science. She was a doctoral student in the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) program, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's largest international research initiative.[5] She earned her doctoral degree in materials science under the supervision of Gerbrand Ceder in 2005, after which she joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a postdoctoral fellow.[6]

In 2008, Meng joined the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor of Materials Science. She moved to the Nanoengineering department[7] at University of California, San Diego in 2009,[8] where she also was a professor in the Materials Science Program.[9] She was the founding director of the Sustainable Power and Energy Center from 2015 to 2020.[10][11] In 2018, Meng was named the Zable Endowed Chair Professor in Energy Technologies.[12] She was also the inaugural director of Institute for Materials Discovery and Design at University of California, San Diego from 2019.[13]

In 2022, Meng joined the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago as professor, as well as Argonne National Laboratory as chief scientist of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS).[1][14]

Research

[edit]

Meng's research focuses on investigating functional nano- and micro-scale materials for energy storage and conversion by combining advanced characterizations such as titration gas chromatography, cryo-EM, cryo-FIB, in situ CDXI, etc. and first-principles simulations. Her research includes lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries, magnetic materials and third-generation solar cells.[15][8][16][17][excessive citations]

Recently, Meng established the analytical method of titration gas chromatography to quantify the contribution of unreacted metallic Li to the total amount of inactive lithium for diagnosing the failure mechanism in lithium metal batteries.[18]

Her research work with her students has led to battery startups spinning out from her lab. One example is South 8 Technologies, a company that is commercializing liquefied gas electrolyte, developed as part of research by Cyrus Rustomji (UC San Diego PhD '15), that allows for lithium batteries to work at cold temperatures.
