New Faces

This fall, our group welcomes four new members: Ms. Yating Fei, Ms. Xue’ao Mei, Ms. Xue Li, and Ms. Yuan Yao. Yuan will pursue her Eng. D. degree here, and the rest will work for their M.S. degree.

Let’s do the job!

Two new members!

We now have two new students pursuing M. S. degree in chemistry, Mr. Yajie Chen and Ms. Leyue Zhou. They will be working on the applications of DNA-binding polymers. Welcome, Yajie and Leyue!

In addition, Ms. Tong Wu has decided to continue her study as a Ph. D. student in our lab. Let’s do this!

Fight the coronavirus!

We are all actively engaging into the national war with the coronavirus. We are staying at home, reading papers, writing manuscripts, and having discussions on WeChat. Although the domestic fight is almost over, we are now facing new threat as the pandemic is now worldwide. But we believe that a united front will be stronger than any virus. Together we will prevail!
