Research Associate
Dr. Zehuan Huang is a Marie Curie Fellow at the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis in University of Cambridge.
Zehuan entered Tsinghua University (China) in 2009 as an undergraduate student majoring in Chemistry. His research interests initially arose from two summer internships: one involved polyelectrolyte LbL self-assembly with Prof. Monika Schönhoff in the University of Münster (Germany, 2010), and the other focused on supramolecular liquid crystals with Prof. Takashi Kato in the University of Tokyo (Japan, 2012). Zehuan received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Tsinghua University in 2013. After that, he joined Prof. Xi Zhang's group at the same univerisity as a PhD candidate. His PhD research was mainly centered on applying cucurbit[n]uril(CB[n])-based functional supramolecular systems to inter/multidisciplinary areas, involving supramolecular chemistry, polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, antimicrobial and anticancer therapy. In July 2018, he was awarded a PhD for his works on controllable association, assembly and function of cucurbiturils host-guest chemistry.
Dr. Zehuan Huang joined the Melville Laboratory in Aug 2018 as a postdoctoral research associate, devising new systems for supramolecular catalysis. Later, in April 2019 he was awarded 'Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship'. Currently, he works on exploiting host-enhanced polar-π interactions to design and fabricate glass-like supramolecular polymer networks and further exploring their potentials in biomedical and bioelectronic applications.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
