Zhuang Xie profile

I received a B.S. in Chemistry at Renmin University of China in 2010 and a Ph.D. at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2014. Then I spent 2 years in Chad A. Mirkin group as a Postdoc at Northwestern University. My research interests include nanofabrication, surface chemistry, polymer materials, photochemistry, micro/nano reactors, 3D manufacturing and flexible/stretchable/wearable electronic devices.
