Biography

Dr. Yongfeng Tong obtained his PhD diploma at the University of Paris-Sud, France. Before joining the Core Lab of QEERI as a Scientist in September 2019, he was a Postdoc in the Laboratoire Materiaux et Phénomènes Quantiques, University of Paris Diderot, France. He has also been working in Synchrotron SOLEIL for four years and performing the synchrotron-based high resolution surface science techniques on the beamline TEMPO, including X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy(UPS), Angular-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy(ARPES), and Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS). Currently, he is under the supervision of the core lab director Dr. Said Mansour and takes charge of the XPS/UPS, TOF-SIMS characterization in the core lab QEERI. His current research interest includes organic molecules for Rectenna electronics, thiol/dithiol self-assembled monolayers and 2D novel systems.
