 News12.29. 2021,my research homepage @ DUT was launched! 12.24. 2021, a PCT Application entitled "A Semiliquid Surface with Liquid and Solid Repellence" was granted.
12.01. 2021, Glad to see that my patent entitled“A Method for Fabrication of Thermo-Responsive Cell Culture Container has entered the final stage of achievement transformation led by Dachuan Heyi Bio-Company. The relavant products will be applied to the market of smart cell culture! Congratulations to Chuan and the team!
11.16. 2021, Any sustainable solutions to undesired icing? Welcome to check out our paper "Sustainable icephobicity on durable quasi-liquid surface"that comes out today in Chemical Engineering Journal. We report a flexible polymer coating that presents sustainably low adhesion strength to bulk ice. Such a durable de-icing surface shows the potential to reduce ice accretion on solar panels, power lines, and vehicles in ice-prone regions. Congratulations to Jyotirmoy Sarma and the team!
10.11. 2021, I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the faculty @ Dalian University of Technology (DUT) in the ME department as an Associate Professor in November 2021! The interdisciplinary research of my will focus on Advanced Surface & Interface Process Intensification (ASIPI), which aims to bring transformational efficiency enhancements in interfacial processes for a sustainable environment & energy. Can’t wait to hit the ground running in this exciting new chapter of my career at DUT. Stay tuned for group openings in 2022! Particularly, I am grateful to my mentors @Sichuan University @The University of Texas at Dallas @Nuclear Power Institute Of China, @Dow, friends, and family from bottom of my heart, whose support, patience, and love over the years inspire me to continue to pursue my scientific dream.

08.13. 2020, so excited to announce that my research logo was designed and came out after three months conception and revision! Especially, I would like to thank my friends Haiping Wang, Zhenqiang Shi, and my wife Jenny for their patient assistance on artistic thought and drawing. BTW, my two-month-old baby Aurora provided her footprint in this logo without any hesitation! Thankful for that!
08.03. 2020, so glad to see that two of my Ph.D. projects have been commercialized by a company from China (Sichuan Zongmu Technology Co. LTD). The startup company aims at the market of smart cell culture containers. It has now signed cooperation agreements with Kelun Pharmaceutical co., LTD and Kanghong Pharmaceutical Co., LTD and got the initial investment of $300, 000 from the two pharmaceutical companies. So proud to be the Technical Director during this commercialization process! Wish all the best to the startup company! Link: https://kuaibao.qq.com/s/20181108A0N22Q00
