The Junior Faculty Outstanding Research Award is one of the highest honors the Clark School gives to junior faculty, and was instituted in 2010 to recognize exceptionally influential research accomplishments by its junior faculty.
Dr. Yifei Mo, associate professor of materials science and engineering, is this year’s winner.
Mo is internationally renowned for his work in theoretical and computational modeling of advanced materials for energy storage and conversion. Since joining the Clark School, he has spearheaded a new research group in computational materials science. He made significant research contributions in computational techniques based on quantum mechanisms, and machine learning to understand, discover, and design advanced renewable energy materials including next generation Li-ion batteries.
