He received several awards including National Outstanding Young Investigator Award (National Natural Science Foundation of China) and has been the holder of Changjiang Professorship since 2010. He serves as associate editors of Australian Journal of Chemistry and Acta Polymerica Sinica, and editorial board members of Science China Chemistry, Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, and Polymer Materials Science and Engineering. His research interests are mainly involved in polymer synthesis and advanced functional materials.
Prof. Chunye Xu completed her PhD studies (1998) and postdoctoral research fellowship (1998/2000) in Japan. As a research associate (2000/2002), at the University of Washington (UW), USA, she initiated her interests in smart materials and structures. Later, she was appointed as a research assistant professor at the UW, and then was promoted to research associate professor in 2009. She has been working as a full professor at University of Science and Technology of China since the end of 2009. She was selected for the “Hundred Talents Program” from Chinese Academic Society in the same year and the “National Thousand Talents Program” of China in 2012. She was honored with the 2014 “International Materials Science Prize” at World Forum on Advanced Materials (POLYCHAR). She has served as the chairman of Chinese National Meeting on Electrochromism since 2014. Her research has focused on electroactive materials and devices, especially on electrochromism.
