I received my Bachelor degree from Zhengzhou University, and furthered my Masters' research on ring-opening metathesis polymerization under the supervision of Prof. Yanwu Zhang at the same university. In 2017, I joined Prof. Ben L. Feringa's group as a PhD student to study photoresponsive supramolecular materials based on molecular motors and switches. After obtaining my PhD degree and a short stay in the Feringa group, I joined the group of Prof. E. W. Meijer as a postdoc fellow in July 2022. I will explore novel supramolecular polymers for fundamental study and application in electronic and spintronic devices. My research interests also include CPL-controlled chiral supramolecular systems and stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymers.
