Project Leader

Quan(全) Chen(陈) received his Ph.D. degree in the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University, Japan in 2011. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Pennsylvania State University, he has been at the current position as a Professor at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2015. He was awarded with the JSPS scholarship in 2009 and the “Thousand Youth Plan” national fund in 2015. He is now a committee member of the Chinese Society of Rheology. His current research interests include structure-property relationship of polymer blends, copolymers, nanocomposites, and ion-containing polymers.

Visiting Professor

Watanabe(渡辺) Hiroshi(宏) received his Ph.D. degree in Osaka University, Japan in 1985. He has been a professor of Institute for Chemical Research (ICR), Kyoto University since 2003 and he stayed at ICR until his retirement in 2022. His work has been recognized in many ways, including the Research Award from the Society of Rheology, Japan in 1994, the Award from the Society of Polymer Science, Japan in 2008, and Fellowship in the American Physical Society in 2005. Most recently he received the Award of the Society of Rheology, Japan in 2012 and Bingham Medal of the Society of Rheology in 2015. Hiroshi has also served as a member at-large of the Executive Committee of the Society of Rheology. His current research interest includes rheology and dynamics of polymers, suspensions, and heterogeneous systems.

Associate Researcher

Zhijie(志杰) Zhang(张) received his B.S. in 2001, M.S in 2005, and Ph.D. in 2008 from Jilin University. His PhD research was on phase separation of binary distributed high-density polyethylene, which was advised by Professor Zhongyuan Lu in Jilin University and co-advised by Professor Yongfeng Meng of Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry. His expertise is on structural characterization techniques in particular X-ray scattering.
