Biography:

Dr. Jie Zhao is currently an assistant professor in Materials Science, Fudan University. Jie obtained her B.S. degree in Chemistry from Zhejiang University and earned the prestigious Evonik Degussa (Germany) Scholarship for Outstanding Students. Jie gained her Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University under the advice of Prof. Yi Cui. She expanded her skill set to soft electronics and biomedical engineering during her postdoctoral appointment under Prof. John A. Rogers at Northwestern University. Her research has involved fundamental studies of chemical and biological interfaces, design and synthesis of novel materials with tailored nanostructures, and the development of high-performance energy storage systems and flexible biomedical devices. She has published nine first-author papers in high-profile journals, including Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, JACS (two), and PNAS, and has co-authored 40 papers, collectively with over 7000 citations. Her research about energy storage was recognized as U.S. DRIVE Highlights of Technical Accomplishments, 2015. She is the recipient of the MRS Graduate Student Award, 2017 and the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad, 2017.
