Li Jia

Assistant Professor of Polymer Science

  • Ph.D., Chemistry, Northwestern University, 1996
  • B.Sc., Lanzhou University, 1991

Research Interests

  • Synthesis and fabrication of new materials is the common theme of my research. The synthetic events may take place at an interface, in a solid film, or in a homogeneous solution. Each project usually involves several subdisciplines of chemistry and materials science, including polymer synthesis, organic and inorganic synthesis, self-assembly, and photolithography.
