Dr. Tiantian Kong received her S.M. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong. After one-year of postdoc training, she joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Shenzhen University in November 2015 as an assistant professor. She was promoted to associate professor in November 2018. Her research interests include electrohydrodynamic flows, multiphase microfluidics, emulsions, particle-laden interfaces and hydrogels. She has received the “Young Scientist Award” from 7th Microsystems & Nanoengineering Conference and Young Scientists Forum in 2020, “Outstanding Oral Presentation Award” from National Science Foundation China Forum for Young Scholars in Chemical Engineering in 2020, and “Guangdong Province Pearl-River Young Scholar Fund” in 2018.

How do you feel about Soft Matter as a place to publish research on this topic?
Super excited to publish an article about interesting dynamic behaviors of microdroplets and microjets in Soft Matter, which is a top multi-disciplinary journal about fundamentals of interfaces.
In your opinion, what are the most important questions to be asked/answered in this field of research?
How can we measure interface phenomena on the microscope level?
