Chengcheng Fang

About

Chengcheng Fang joined the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Michigan State University as an assistant professor in 2020. Her research group focuses on developing multiscale quantitative characterization tools, and designing advanced materials and manufacturing methods for energy storage and conversion devices. Chengcheng Fang received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from University of California San Diego (UCSD) with Professor Shirley Meng in 2019. Her doctoral research identified the main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure by inventing a new analytical tool named Titration Gas Chromatography and coupling with cryogenic electron microscopy techniques. She obtained her M.Phil. in Innovative Technology Leadership from Hong Kong University o
