I’m truly honored to receive the Wu Ta-You Memorial Award, a recognition that celebrates young researchers committed to advancing science and technology. This award is given to early-career scholars with outstanding research performance and future potential, and I am grateful to be among this year’s recipients.
This recognition reflects not only my own efforts, but also the support of my students, collaborators, and mentors who have been part of this journey. From exploring carbon materials and battery chemistry to bridging academia and industry, each step has been shaped by teamwork and curiosity.
I see this not as a milestone, but as motivation. There is still much to explore, and I look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of energy storage research, and hopefully contribute to a more sustainable future.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
We are proud to announce that BEST Lab members Anlin Shaju and Aleesha K. Paulose have received the Bronze Award at the NYCU 2025 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Academic Poster Competition.
Their award-winning poster, titled“Interface Engineering via Anion-Driven SEI Coordination in Silver-Nucleated Lithium Metal Batteries,”was completed under the supervision of Prof. Yu-Sheng Su.
This research focuses on innovative interface engineering strategies for lithium metal batteries. By leveraging anion-driven SEI coordination and silver nucleation design, the team aims to enhance lithium deposition stability and overall battery performance. The work reflects BEST Lab’s continued commitment to advancing sustainable energy storage technologies and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in clean energy and sustainable innovation.
The competition was organized by the Office of Sustainable Development and University Social Responsibility at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, with the award ceremony held on October 23, 2025.
Congratulations to our award recipients, and thank you to all team members and mentors for their support. BEST Lab will continue striving for excellence in next-generation battery research and sustainable energy solutions. 🔋✨
Our lab is pleased to share that Prof. Yu-Sheng Su has successfully received a renewal of the Ministry of Education (MOE) Yushan Young Scholar Program, extending the award for an additional five-year term.
The renewal recognizes sustained research productivity and continued academic development over the initial funding period. Support from the Yushan Young Scholar Program enables the lab to further pursue long-term research directions and strengthen training for young researchers.
We appreciate the continued support from the Ministry of Education and look forward to the next stage of research progress.
