个人简介

Prof. Zijian Zheng is currently Professor at the Institute of Textile and Clothing (ITC) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests are surface science, self-assembly, nanolithography, polymer science, and bendable/stretchable/wearable/graphene materials and electronic devices. He received his B. Eng. with honor from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University in 2003. Between 2004 and 2007, Prof. Zheng moved to the Department of Chemistry and Nanoscience Center at University of Cambridge for his PhD study under the supervision of Prof. Wilhelm T. S. Huck, where he worked on nanotechnology and organic optoelectronics. In 2008, Prof. Zheng joined the group of Prof. Chad A. Mirkin as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Chemistry and International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University, working on the development of Dip-Pen Nanolithography and Polymer Pen Lithography. He joined ITC as Assistant Professor in 2009 and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor via a fast track in 2013. Prof. Zheng is known in his contribution to flexible and wearable electronics and surface patterning. He has published more than 60 papers in high-impact international scientific journals including Science, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Journal of the America Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie, and Nano letters. He also files 15 international and China patents. He serves as Guest Editor for Advanced Materials and Small. He is recipient of more than 10 academic awards such as Geneva Innovation Award (2015), Future Leaders Award (2015) and Early Career Award (2016).
