Dr. Zhiqun Lin is currently Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his PhD degree in Polymer Science and Engineering from University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2002. He did his postdoctoral research at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Iowa State University as an Assistant Professor in 2004 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010. He moved to Georgia Institute of Technology in 2011, and become a Professor in 2014. His research interests include polymer-based nanocomposites, block copolymers, polymer blends, conjugated polymers, quantum dots (rods, tetrapods and wires), functional nanocrystals (metallic, magnetic, semiconducting, ferroelectric, multiferroic, upconversion and thermoelectric) of different architectures (plain, core/shell, hollow and Janus), solar cells (perovskite solar cells, organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells and dye sensitized solar cells), lithium ion batteries, hydrogen generation, hierarchically structured and assembled materials, and surface and interfacial properties. He has published more than 200 peer reviewed journal articles (with an h-index of 59), 10 book chapters, and 4 books. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and an editorial advisory board member for Nanoscale. He is a recipient of Frank J. Padden Jr. Award in Polymer Physics from American Physical Society, an NSF Career Award, a 3 M Non-Tenured Faculty Award, and an invited participant at the National Academy of Engineering's 2010 US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium. He became a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry in 2014 and a Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellow in 2015.

Meidan Ye is an associate Professor in the Research Institute for Biomimetics and Soft Matter, Department of Physics, College of Physical Science and Technology at Xiamen University, China. She received her PhD in Physical Chemistry from the State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, and College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Xiamen University in 2014. She studied in Department of Material Science and Engineering, Iowa State University, USA, as a visiting PhD student during 2010-2011. Her research interests include advanced nanostructured materials for energy and environment applications, such as perovskite solar cells, dye/quantum dot-sensitized solar cells, hydrogen production from photoelectrocatalytic water splitting, photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, supercapacitors, and electrochromic devices. Until now, she has published over 30 papers in some prestigious journals, including Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nano Letters, Advanced Materials, Advanced Energy Materials, and Materials Today. The citation of her papers is more than 1300 times, and the highest one is over 250 times. In addition, she has contributed two chapters in two books published by Springer recently Dr Mengye Wang is currently a postdoctoral fellow of Department of Applied Physics at The Hong Kong of Polytechnic University. She received her PhD degree in Physical Chemistry from Xiamen University, Xiamen, China in 2015. Her research interests include advanced materials for environmental and energy application, such as photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and solar cells. She serves as a Community Board Member for Materials Horizons. More information on her research can be found at https://scholar.google.com.hk/citations?user=uQx2EHIAAAAJ&hl=zh-CN.
