Zhiqun LinDr. Zhiqun Lin is currently Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his PhD degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2002. He did his postdoctora research at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research interests include polymer-based nanocomposites, block copolymers, conjugated polymers, quantum dots (rods, tetrapods and wires), functional nanocrystals (metallic, magnetic, semiconducting, upconversion and thermoelectric) of different architectures, solar cells (perovskite solar cells and dye sensitized solar cells), batteries, hydrogen generation, thermoelectric materials and devices, hierarchically structured and assembled materials, and surface and interfacial properties. He has published more than 220 peer reviewed journal articles (with an h-index of 61), 10 book chapters, and 4 books. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and an editorial advisory board member for Nanoscale. He is a recipient of Frank J. Padden Jr. Award in Polymer Physics from American Physical Society, an NSF Career Award, a 3 M Non-Tenured Faculty Award, and an invited participant at the National Academy of Engineering’s 2010 US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. He became a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry in 2014 and a Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellow in 2015. Read More Read Less
