Om mig

I graduated from East China University of Science and Technology (Shanghai, China) with a Bachelor's in Polymer Material and Engineering in 2019. Following my undergraduate studies, I pursued an M.S. and Ph.D. at Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) under the supervision of Professor Wan Yue. My doctoral research primarily focused on designing and synthesizing organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) to enhance the performance of n-type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). During this time, I innovated by developing rigid fused conjugated small molecules and oligomers, achieving outstanding n-type OECT performance and exploring the relationship between molecular design and device properties.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher in Erica Zeglio’s groups at Stockholm University’s Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, where I work as part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE). My research continues to explore the design and synthesis of novel conjugated polymers, with a strong emphasis on sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions for future biological and electronic applications.
