Short Biography
Yunfeng Li received his Ph.D. at Jilin University in 2012 under the supervision of Professor Bai Yang. He did his postdoctoral research in Professor Eugenia Kumacheva’s Lab at University of Toronto from 2013 to 2018. He joined State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials in Jilin University as a full professor since 2018. His research interests are focused on nonequilibrium self-assembly of polymeric colloids (nanoparticles) and exploration of dynamic biomaterials.
