The Research Development on Molecular Engineering of Polymers

Jia Guo is a professor at the Department of Macromolecular Science, Fudan University. He received his Ph.D. in polymer chemistry and physics from Fudan University in 2007. Then, he joined the group of Prof. Donglin Jiang at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS, Japan) as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow. At the end of 2009, he joined the faculty of the Department of Macromolecular Science at Fudan University, where he is now a full professor. His current research efforts focuses on exploring the structure–activity relationships of porous organic polymers in the fields of catalysis and biomedical applications.

Guosong Chen is a professor at the Department of Macromolecular Science, Fudan University. She studied chemistry at Nankai University, where she obtained her B.Sc. in 2001. In 2006, she received her Ph.D. with the same university in supramolecular chemistry. After her postdoctoral studies in carbohydrate chemistry at Iowa State University, she moved to Fudan University in December 2008, where she joined the department as a lecturer, working on the interface of macromolecular self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry. Then she was promoted to an associate professor in 2011 and a professor in 2014. She was supported by the Excellent Youth Foundation and Outstanding Youth Foundation of NSFC. After 2014, her research focus has been reoriented to carbohydrate-based macromolecular self-assembly and its biological functions. She was elected as a fellow of Royal Chemical Society (FRSC) and serves as an associate editor of ACS Macro Letters and international board members for several journals.

Jianfeng Li is a professor at the Department of Macromolecular Science, Fudan University. He received his Ph.D. in polymer chemistry and physics from Fudan University in 2010. During 2007–2009, he studied in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University as a visiting student. Then, he joined the group of Prof. Xingao Gong at the Department of Physics, Fudan University, as a postdoctoral fellow. He joined the Department of Macromolecular Science at Fudan University as a lecturer in 2012 and became a full professor in 2019. His current research interests include soft condensed matter physics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics of biological systems, and physical modeling of human brain.

Huisheng Peng received his B.Eng. in Polymer Materials from Donghua University in China in 1999, M.Sc. in Polymer Science from Fudan University in China in 2003, and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Tulane University in the USA in 2006. He worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, US Department of Energy, from 2006 to 2008. He has been appointed as a professor in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Laboratory of Advanced Materials at Fudan University since 2008, became the Changjiang chair professor in 2014, and started as the university professor since 2020. Professor Peng has published over 300 peer-reviewedpapers and 4 books with H-index of 90. He obtains 78 licensed patents with 36 royally transferred to the industry. He receives over 30 national and international awards such as the Second Prize of National Natural Science Award, makes editorial services for over 20 journals like Adv. Mater. and Adv. Funct. Mater., and serves for over 20 professional organizations such as the Science and Technology Commission member of Ministry of Education of China.
