Personal Profile

In 2011, Mr. Yao Xikuang graduated from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University and won the "Talent Project" Program of Nanjing University. He did the MD-PhD course under the instruction of Professor Jiang Xiqun, majoring in the synthesis and biological application of biomedical polymer materials. After graduating from doctor's degree in 2016, he successively conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and was mainly engaged in the development and application of polymer inorganic hybrid system. In June 2019, he joined the Institute of Advanced Materials of Nanjing Tech University, in charge of teaching and conducting scientific research, and undertaking many theoretical and practical courses for undergraduates and postgraduates. At present, the research group mainly focus on the design, synthesis and self-assembly of polymer materials, as well as biomedical applications.

Representative Research Projects / Works / Papers

Since Mr. Yao joined Nanjing Tech University, he has been actively applying for national, provincial and municipal projects, presided over the Youth Project of the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province, the General Project of Jiangsu Education Department, the Scientific and Technological Innovation Project of Overseas Students in Nanjing, and won academic honors such as "Doctor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation" of Jiangsu Province. Mr. Yao has been invited to attend domestic and international conferences many times to carry out academic exchanges and cooperation.

So far, as the first author or corresponding author, Mr. Yao has published many SCI academic papers in the mainstream polymer journals, includingProgress in Polymer Science、Materials Horizons、Biomacromolecules、Macromolecular BioscienceandJournal of Materials Chemistry B, with the cumulative impact index being nearly 70 .
