Materials scientist Yet-Ming Chiang has developed breakthrough materials to enable new technologies such as stable, high-power, rechargeable batteries and novel electrochemical actuators.

Thanks to his research, reusable batteries are now available that are safer and more powerful than earlier lithium-ion rechargeable varieties and are relatively inexpensive to produce.

Born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on April 25, 1958, Chiang emigrated to the United States with his family when he was six years old.

He spent much of his childhood in Connecticut and became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. at age 16. He entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a materials science and engineering student, where he conducted research in the laboratory of the late professor W.

David Kingery, a 1999 recipient of the Kyoto Prize, as a participant in MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program. Chiang completed his SB degree in 1980, followed by an ScD degree in Cer
