Yilei Wu
Laboratory Services Manager 2, Chemistry
BioResearch Scientist & Chemistry Teaching Lab Manager, Stanford University
Yilei Wu is a research scientist at Stanford University whose work focuses on advancing organic electronics and solar‑energy conversion. With more than 15 years of experience in molecular design, organic synthesis, and device engineering, his research spans thin‑film transistors, organic photovoltaics, spintronics, fluorescence imaging, and molecular machines. He specializes in developing high‑performance organic materials for solution‑printable solar cells and wearable electronics, integrating supramolecular chemistry, thin‑film deposition, and device characterization to optimize donor–acceptor interfaces and bulk morphology. His work supports the development of flexible, lightweight solar technologies for both civilian and modern defense applications.
In addition to his research, Wu oversees the operation and management of Stanford’s Chemistry teaching laboratories, directing laboratory infrastructure, instructional support, and departmental health and safety programs.
He teaches CHEM 100: Chemical Laboratory and Safety Skills, an intensive in‑lab course that provides foundational training in chemical safety, laboratory techniques, and hazard assessment. He also teaches CHEM 121: Understanding the Natural and Unnatural World through Chemistry, a course that explores how fundamental chemical principles drive innovation across biology, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, engineering, energy, and materials science.
