Li Heng

Li Heng is a Research Assistant Professor at the Shenzhen Grubbs Institute, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). Previously, he served as a Postdoctoral Researcher in SUSTech's Department of Materials Science and Engineering (2022-2024). His academic trajectory demonstrates a strong focus on advanced materials research within prestigious institutions.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Chemistry, University of Birmingham, UK (2018-2022)
• B.S. and M.Sc. in Pharmacy, Jilin University, China (2011-2018)

His research centers on phototheranostic material design and supramolecular self-assembly, with applications spanning organic photovoltaics, nanotechnology, and biomedical engineering. Key innovations include developing dimerized acceptor structures for solar cells and controlling nanoscale morphological transitions through π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding. The work bridges fundamental chemistry with energy conversion and medical diagnostics.

Publications (2021-2024) predominantly explore materials chemistry and energy applications, featuring advanced topics in organic photovoltaics (dimer acceptors, selenium enhancement), nanostructural control (2D nanosheets, micelle transformations), and supramolecular engineering (chiral architectures, hydrogen-bonded assemblies). Recent works emphasize efficiency/stability improvements in solar devices.

Scientific Awards:

• Best Poster Award, 2nd World Materials Conference (2024)
