Welcome!
Interested in understanding molecular structures of complex surfaces and interfaces, such as polymer and biological surfaces and
interfaces. My group is using advanced spectroscopic and imaging techniques to study such surfaces and interfaces.

5th year PhD student
Hello!
Hey! I am a PhD student in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering, which means I like polymers and hope to be an engineer one day!
Shuqing Zhang
5th year PhD student
I am from Macromolecular Science and Engineering. My research is mainly focused on various polymer surfaces and interfaces. I also use simulation tools to study the mechanism at the buried interface.
