Current Position. Professor, School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China. Education. B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering (1989), Beihang University, China; and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electronic Chemistry (2003), Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. Nonscientific Interests. Cooking, hiking in nature, shopping, and photography. Our group focus on the development of new strategies for real-time monitoring and in vivo quantification of reactive oxygen species and related biological molecules involved in oxidative stress in the brain. We address the key challenges for in vivo sensing, including selectivity, sensitivity, stability, and accuracy. Using the methods and tools we developed, we investigate the important roles that these biological molecules play in physiological and pathological events such as aging, ischemia, and traumatic brain injury.

Current Position. Ph.D. Candidate, Strano Research Group, Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MA. Education. B.SE in Chemical Engineering (2013), Princeton University, NJ; Graduate Research (2014), University of Tokyo, Japan; and Masters in Chemical Engineering Practice (2016), MIT, MA. Nonscientific Interests. Mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and photography. My primary research interest is in the application of materials and nanotechnology to biomedical technology. My Ph.D. work focuses on the use of single walled carbon nanotubes and synthetic polymers to create implantable, fluorescent biosensors for real-time, continuous monitoring of in vivo steroid hormone levels for enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic applications. My postgraduate and undergraduate research involved the fabrication and formulation of functionalized block copolymeric nanoparticles for targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents.
