Chang-Ming Jiang received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2007. After completing mandatory military service in Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration, he pursued a Ph.D. in Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, under the mentorship of Professor Stephen R. Leone. His doctoral research focuses on ultrafast carrier dynamics in transition metal oxide thin films, such as Fe2O3 and Co3O4. During his Ph.D. study, he designed and built a table-top extreme ultraviolet (EUV) laser source through high-harmonic generation, utilizing the EUV pulses to probe element-specific dynamics on femto-to-picosecond timescales.

In 2015, Chang-Ming earned his Ph.D. and joined Dr. Ian D Sharp’s group at the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, as a postdoctoral researcher. There, he investigated the photoelectrochemical properties of ternary metal oxide thin films grown via reactive sputtering, with a focus on solar fuel production. Following Dr. Sharp move to the Technical University of Munich, Chang-Ming joined his group at the Walter Schottky Institute. From 2018 to 2021, he worked on the synthesis of metastable transition metal nitrides and studied the impact of oxygen impurities on their functional properties.

In 2021, Chang-Ming returned to his alma mater to establish an independent research group in the Department of Chemistry at NTU. His current work combines a focus on photoelectrocatalysis with fundamental investigation into carrier-lattice interaction in photo-excited states, aiming to elucidate small polaron formation in metal oxides. He is also examining surface states that emerged during photo-driven organic oxidation and reduction reactions at the semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces.
