Peining Chen, associate professor at Fudan University. He graduated from the College of Textiles of Sichuan University with a bachelor degree in engineering in 2010, and then got master degree from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University in 2012. He then obtained PhD degree from Laboratory of Advanced Materials at Fudan University in 2016, under the supervision of Prof. Huisheng Peng. He then joined Prof. Edward Sargent’s group at University of Toronto as a postdoctoral fellow. After that, he joined Fudan University as an associate professor at December 2017. His current research mainly focuses on novel flexible electronic materials, device fabrication and function integration. He published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers on the leading journals such as Nature, Nature Nanotechnol., Adv. Mater. and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., etc.
