Biography

Dr. Ji-Guang (Jason) Zhang, a Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), is internationally recognized and widely cited for his pioneering work in developing energy storage devices. These devices include lithium-metal batteries, lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, lithium-air batteries, and thin-film solid-state batteries. Dr. Zhang is a principal investigator for PNNL’s energy storage for transportation efforts, supported by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO). As a leader in his field, he has published nearly 400 papers in professional journals and has an h-index of 148—for the complete list, find him on Google Scholar. Dr. Zhang has a demonstrated ability to drive discovery and innovation—from fundamentals to application—evidenced by his 41 granted U.S. patents on energy storage and related areas.

Prior to joining PNNL, he served as chief technology officer of Excellatron Solid State LLC in Atlanta, Georgia. While there, his responsibilities included strategic planning and identification of R&D direction. He was also responsible for day-to-day performance of the technical team for development of thin-film lithium batteries and other energy-related products. From 1998 to 2000, he served as the director of product development at Macro Energy-Tech Inc. in Redondo Beach, California, where he was responsible for setting up a pilot line for production of polymer lithium-ion batteries. Prior to this, he was worked his way up to senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where he managed several lithium-ion-battery related projects.
