It is with great pleasure that we announce Professor Feihe Huang (Zhejiang University) as the recipient of the 2016 Polymer Chemistry Lectureship award.

This award, now in its second year, honours an early-stage career researcher who has made significant contribution to the polymer chemistry field. The recipient is selected by the Polymer Chemistry Editorial Board from a list of candidates nominated by the community.

Read on to find out more about Feihe…

Feihe Huang

Feihe Huang was born in Shaodong, Hunan, China in February 1973. He obtained his Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry during the spring of 2005 with the aid and guidance of Prof. Harry W. Gibson. He joined Prof. Peter J. Stang’s group in University of Utah as a postdoctoral fellow in March 2005. In December 2005, he became a professor of chemistry in Department of Chemistry at Zhejiang University. In March 2008, he became a Qiushi Chair Professor of Zhejiang University.

His current research interests are supramolecular polymers, amphiphiles, and pillararene supramolecular chemistry. Awards and honors he has received to date include the William Preston Award for a MS Thesis from VT, Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad, The Sigma Xi Research Award for Ph.D. Degree Candidates from the VT Chapter of Sigma Xi Research Society, Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation Award from VT, the Thieme Chemistry Journals Award, the Outstanding Recent Graduate Alumnus Award from VT, Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers from the Humboldt Foundation, The National Science Fund (China) for Distinguished Young Scholars winner, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, Asian Chemical Congress Asian Rising Star, the Chinese Chemical Society AkzoNobel Chemical Sciences Award, the Cram Lehn Pedersen Prize in Supramolecular Chemistry, and the 2016 Polymer Chemistry Lectureship award.

He has published more than 180 supramolecular chemistry papers in Nature Chem. (1), PNAS (2), J. Am. Chem. Soc. (23), Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. (5), Adv. Mater. (6), Nature Commun. (1), Chem. Soc. Rev. (5), Acc. Chem. Res. (4), Prog. Polym. Sci. (1), etc. His publications have been cited more than 11255 times. His h-index is 59. He has served as a guest editor for Chem. Soc. Rev., Acc. Chem. Res., Chem. Rev. and Chem. Commun.

He sits on the Advisory Boards of Chem. Soc. Rev., Chem. Commun., Acta Chim. Sinica, Macromolecules, ACS Macro Lett., and Polym. Chem. and Editorial Boards of Materials Chemistry Frontiers (2016-) and Acta Polymerica Sinica (2016-). The homepage of his research group is http://www.chem.zju.edu.cn/~huangfeihe/index.php

Polymer Chemistry welcomes new Associate Editor Hong Chen and new Advisory Board members!

We are delighted to welcome Professor Hong Chen (Soochow University, China) to the PolymerChemistry Editorial Board as an Associate Editor, as well as our new Advisory Board members.

Leading the Macromolecules and Biointerface Lab (MacBio), a key laboratory at Soochow University, Hong’s research interests include surface modification and functionalisation of biomaterials, interactions between biomaterials and proteins or cells, the hemocompatibility of biomaterials, and biological detection.

An experienced editor, Hong was previously a member of the Polymer Chemistry Advisory Board. She has made a significant contribution to the field and to the journal, and we are very excited to have her take a leading role in the Polymer Chemistry team!

As a Polymer Chemistry Associate Editor, Hong will be handling submissions to the journal. Why not submit your next paper to her Editorial Office?

To find out more about Hong’s research, take a look at her recent Polymer Chemistry papers:
