Dr. Jiahui Hou is a postdoctoral research fellow in Prof. Yan Wang’s group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), USA. She received her M.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Northeastern University in 2020 and is completing her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at WPI, with research focused on sustainable recycling and recovery of critical materials from lithium-ion batteries, as well as the synthesis of high-performance cathode materials. Dr. Hou has authored and co-authored numerous publications in high-impact journals such as Green Chemistry, Energy Storage Materials, Chem, Nano Energy, and Advanced Energy Materials. Her research contributions include the development of green closed-loop recycling processes, highly selective lithium extraction methods, and innovative upcycling strategies for Ni-rich cathodes. She is also a co-inventor on multiple patents related to lithium recovery and battery material recycling. Beyond his research, Dr. Hou has served as a reviewer for international journals and has actively contributed to advancing circular economy solutions for energy storage materials. Her expertise spans inorganic chemistry, electrochemistry, hydrometallurgical processes, mechanochemistry, and advanced material characterization.
