Chang Yan

Chang Yan is a Tenure-track Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and is jointly affiliated with the Zhangjiang Institute for Advanced Study. Her research focuses on developing and applying novel techniques to observe and measure complex microscopic chemical dynamics in condensed phases, including ultrafast infrared spectroscopy and infrared-encoded fluorescence microscopy. Her work explores ultrafast processes such as charge transfer, energy relaxation, and hydrogen bond rearrangement. She has published extensively in top-tier journals, including the Journal of the American Chemical Society and ACS Nano.

Chang Yan is a researcher in the Department of Chemistry at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, specializing in Ultrafast Spectroscopy, Infrared-encoded Imaging, Nanoscale Dynamics, and Molecular Dynamics. Their work focuses on understanding charge transfer mechanisms, proton dynamics, and interfacial processes using advanced spectroscopic techniques. Key areas include the study of photogenerated charge behavior in composite materials, aqueous proton transfer, and the dynamics of functionalized self-assembled monolayers. Yan's research also explores the role of hole traps in quantum dot systems and the structural dynamics at monolayer-liquid interfaces. Their publications highlight the application of 2D infrared spectroscopy and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to investigate complex chemical and physical phenomena at the nanoscale.
