معرفی
Jie Song is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the College of Innovation and Technology, University of Michigan-Flint. He has been a faculty member since 2002, progressing from Assistant Professor (2002–2010) to Associate Professor (2010–2016) and achieving full Professorship in 2016. His research spans theoretical and applied chemistry, with a strong emphasis on computational modeling and functional materials.
Research Interests:
Dr. Song's work bridges theoretical and experimental chemistry. His primary interests include theoretical and computational chemistry, particularly focusing on transition metal carbides, and the development of bioimaging agents using aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogens derived from natural products like rosin and dehydroabietic acid. His research also explores green chemistry, antifungal drug design, and organic synthesis of functional materials.
Recent Research Trends:
His recent publications (2024–2025) highlight a strong focus on bio-AIEgens—fluorescent molecules that emit light upon aggregation—for biological imaging. These compounds are derived from sustainable sources like rosin, aligning with green chemistry principles. His work investigates structure-property relationships, spectral tuning, and applications in cell imaging, demonstrating interdisciplinary innovation in materials and life sciences.
