Prof. Dr. Xi Zhang, received his B.S. degree (1986) and Ph.D (1992) in the Department of Chemistry, Jilin University. As a joint-training Ph.D student, he worked with Prof. Helmut Ringsdorf, University of Mainz, Germany, between 1991 and 1992. He became a full professor of Jilin University in 1994. Since 2003, he is a full professor of the Department of Chemistry, Tsinghua University. Currently, he serves as the President of Jilin University; Director of the Polymer Science Committee, Chinese Chemical Society. He was elected as Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2007), RSC Fellow (2008), ACS Fellow (2016). His research interest focuses on combining polymer chemistry with supramolecular chemistry to develop molecular engineering of functional supramolecular systems.
