معرفی
Professor Jin-Chong Tan is a Professor of Engineering Science (Nanoscale Engineering) at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at Balliol College. He holds a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from Malaysia (1999), an MEng in Materials Engineering from Singapore (2001), and a PhD in Materials Science from the University of Cambridge (2005). His research focuses on developing multifunctional materials and composites, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for applications in photonics-based sensing, energy harvesting, and nanocomposite membranes. He leads the Multifunctional Materials & Composites (MMC) Lab, which explores luminescent materials, nanoscale engineering, and host-guest nanocomposites.
Key research interests include luminescent nanomaterials, photonic sensors, and MOF-based systems for smart sensing technologies. He has secured significant grants including an ERC Advanced Grant (TEGMOF) and ERC Proof of Concept (LUMIVOCS), and his work has been featured in BBC Radio 4's Science in Action. His lab's innovations include AI-enabled wearable sensors for joint torque monitoring and advanced energy-harvesting devices using triboelectric nanogenerators.
Professor Tan's contributions extend to material synthesis methodologies, including mechanochemical processing and aerosol-jet printing of MOF nanosheets. His research emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, with applications spanning healthcare monitoring, environmental remediation, and sustainable energy systems. He actively engages in academic outreach, advising on DPhil opportunities and mentoring students in cutting-edge materials research.
