I grew up in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China and went to Tianjin University to pursue a Bachelor degree of Chemical Engineering. After graduation, I came to the States for graduate study at University of Washington, got a MS degree in 2018 and right now pursuing a PhD in Ratner lab. My research interests focus on polymer synthesis and related applications for biomaterials, working a project to develop biodegradable scaffold for tissue engineering, and would like to working in industry field after graduation. Other than work I’m a huge basketball fan, playing and watching the game a lot.
