Wes Chang

Wes Chang's research group at Drexel University is offering multiple postdoctoral opportunities in applied battery research. The work is aimed at building practical tools and developing battery materials through a combination of hands-on processing, advanced characterization, and large-scale data analysis. The projects may involve battery electrode processing and X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT), with opportunities to investigate electrode structures and materials using advanced imaging and analytical approaches. Researchers will contribute to tool development, experimental materials work, characterization workflows, and analysis of substantial datasets. The group also welcomes inquiries from undergraduate students, Master's students, and professionals currently working in industry who are considering a PhD focused on broadly defined applied battery research. Potential projects may begin in Spring 2027, Summer 2027, Fall 2027, or as soon as possible depending on the position. The opportunities are based in the research environment of Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, within a group focused on applied battery materials and characterization.

Drexel University is advertising a postdoctoral researcher opportunity with Wes Chang’s group for a project focused on building a characterization tool for electrochemical cells . The work sits at the intersection of electrochemistry , gas diffusion electrodes , and optics , with an emphasis on hands-on development of tools for electrochemical cell and electrode design. The post also highlights a collaborative environment and interest in supporting early-year PhD students. Applicants are encouraged to have cross-field experience spanning electrochemistry and optics. The post also notes that candidates who are considering a PhD and are interested in practical electrochemical cell and electrode design may also reach out. Interested candidates should contact Wes Chang at [email protected] to gauge fit before applying. A formal application is available through the Drexel careers portal.
