Yuewen Fang is a tenured scientist and a principal investigator of Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) at Centro de Física de Materiales (CSIC-UPV/EHU). Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the same center, hired by the University of the Basque Country. He also worked as a researcher at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Prior to that, he served as a program-specific researcher at Kyoto University. He was additionally a visiting academic at New York University Shanghai and Japan Fine Ceramics Center. He obtained PhD at East China Normal University in Shanghai.

Yuewen's research interests include quantum materials theory and materials discovery of thermoelectrics, superconductors, multiferroics, ferroelectrics, polar metals, complex oxide interfaces, and photovoltaic materials by combining the state-of-the-art computational materials methods with machine learning techniques. Yuewen's research work has resulted in the publication in prestigious journals such as Science, Science Advances, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, and more.

Yuewen serves as an Editor of Discover Materials (Springer Nature), and a Youth Editor of the Editorial Board of 4 JCR-Q1/2 journals. In addition, he was a reviewer for nearly 70 journals and has contributed 320+ verified peer reviews to these journals such as Physical Review Letters and PNAS.
