Wei Chen
Wei Chen received his B.S. (2011) in Polymer Science from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Later, he got his Ph.D. (2016) in Polymer Science from the University of Akron under the supervision of Prof. Toshikazu Miyoshi. After the postdoctoral work in Tongji University (2016-2018), he joined the National Synchrotron Radiation Lab as an associate professor (2018). His research interest is related to understanding how the hierarchical structure and molecular dynamics of the polymer during processing and in real service conditions. To achieve such a goal, he develops various kinds of hyphenated NMR (Rheo-Spin NMR) and synchrotron radiation X-ray scattering-based apparatuses.
Yuqi Xiong
Yuqi Xiong received his B.S. (2018) in Applied Physics from Wuhan Institute of Technology (WIT). She is currently pursuing her doctorate at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the guidance of Professor Liangbin Li. Her research focuses on using Rheo-NMR to understand the physical mechanisms of nonlinear mechanical behavior during in situ stretching processes of elastomeric composite materials.
