RSC Applied Interfaces was delighted to support the 8th Symposium for Young Scholars in Colloid and Interface Science which took place in Xi’an, China on 24 – 25 January 2026.

Organized by the Colloid and Interface Chemistry Committee of the CCS and hosted by the Frontier Institute of Science and Technology at Xi’an Jiaotong University, the event featured excellent young scholars delivering high quality presentations to a panel of key field leaders, which included Professor Yu Fang (Advisory Board member). Associate Editor, Professor Jianbin Huang chaired the opening ceremony of the meeting and Dr Guanqun Song attended to deliver a talk to attendees about publishing in RSC Applied Interfaces.

 

Alongside general sponsorship of the event, we were honoured to support 4 awards for presentations delivered during the meeting. Congratulations to the winners!

  • Professor Jiwei Cui, Shandong University
  • Professor Gang He, Xi’an Jiao Tong University
  • Professor Lingxiang Jiang, South China University of Technology
  • Professor Yingjie Wu, Harbin Institute of Technology

Thank you to everyone who took part and to the organisers who made the meeting such an great event.

ORCID: 0000-0003-3270-892X

Riccardo Marin obtained his Ph.D. in chemistry from University Ca’ Foscari (Italy) and Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Canada) with Prof. Patrizia Canton and Prof. Fiorenzo Vetrone. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Ottawa with Prof. Eva Hemmer and Prof. Muralee Murugesu, he moved as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow first and then Ramón y Cajal fellow to the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in the group of Prof. Daniel Jaque (nanoBIG). Since 2025, he is Associate Professor at University Ca’ Foscari of Venice, where he co-leads the Intelligent Optical Nanomaterials (IONs) group. His research interests include optical (nano)materials for sensing and biomedical applications, and coordination compounds with optomagnetic properties.

“I am thrilled to be joining the RSC Applied Interfaces team as an Early Career Advisory Board member! I look forward to this opportunity of contributing to the growth of the journal.”

ORCID: 0000-0002-2850-5129

Ye-Tang Pan received his Ph. D. degree (2018) in Materials Science and Engineering from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid under the supervision of Prof. Dr. De-Yi Wang (EurASc FRSC MEASA). Following postdoctoral research and an assistant professorship, he has been an associate professor at National Engineering Research Center of Flame Retardant Materials, Beijing Institute of Technology since 2022.

His research is primarily concerned with the design of functional nanomaterials, flame retardant polymer nanocomposites, microwave absorption materials and functional coatings.

“I’m thrilled to embark on this journey with the journal RSC Applied Interfaces. It promises to be a dynamic platform where innovative research meets practical applications, and I look forward to contributing to and learning from the vibrant community of scientists and researchers who are shaping the future of materials and interfaces.”
