Dr Ji Liu

Research Associate

Ji Liu obtained his PhD in Nov. 2013 under the co-supervision of Prof. Christine Jérôme in Univeristy of Liege (Belgium) and Prof. Etienne Duguet in Univeristy of Bordeaux (France). His PhD research was focused on developing innovated drug delivery systems based on specifically-designed macromolecules and inorganic nanocolloids for controlled release. After a short post-doc career in the same group of Prof. Jérôme, he joined the Melville Lab for Polymer Synthesis with Prof. Oren Scherman in University of Cambridge as a post-doc research associate since June 2014. Currently, his research is mostly focused on using cucurbituril-based supramolecular host/guest interaction for polymeric self-assembly and interfacial adhesion.
