Pei Dong
Pei Dong is a Chinese and American materials scientist whose research involves the design and fabrication of two-dimensional advanced materials and nanostructures for applications including optoelectronics, catalysis, water splitting, and solar cells.[1] She is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at George Mason University.[2]
Education and career
Dong has a bachelor's degree in microelectronics from Nankai University.[2] She has a 2013 Ph.D. from Rice University.[3] As a doctoral student of Jun Lou at Rice University, she worked on the application of carbon nanotubes in dye-sensitized solar cells.[4] She continued at Rice as a postdoctoral researcher from 2013 until 2017, before taking her present position at George Mason University.[3]
Recognition
Dong was elected as an ASME Fellow in 2025.[5]
