Dr. Zhiqun Lin is currently Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He received his PhD in Polymer Science and Engineering from University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2002. After two-year postdoctoral research at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor in 2004 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010. He moved to Georgia Institute of Technology in 2011, and become a Professor in 2014. He relocated to National University of Singapore in 2022. His research interests include solar cells, batteries, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, block copolymers, conjugated polymers, functional nanocrystals, hierarchically structured and assembled materials, and surface and interfacial properties. He has published more than 360 peer reviewed journal articles (with an h-index of 96), 13 book chapters, and 7 books. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances, and an editorial advisory board member for Journal of Materials Chemistry A. He is a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2014), Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellow (2015), American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow (2018), ACS PMSE Fellow and POLY Fellow (2019), and ACS Fellow (2022).

Yijiang Liu is an Associate Professor in the College of Chemistry at the Xiangtan University. She received her Ph.D. from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015. Her research focuses on the design and synthesis of block copolymers and functional nanocrystals templated from block copolymer nanoeactors, carbon materials, and Janus manterials.
