Meiwen Peng

Associate Professor

Meiwen Peng joined the Institute of Functional Nano & Soft Matter of Soochow University in 2024 and was appointed as an associate professor. In August 2020, he obtained his Ph.D. degree from Soochow University under the supervision of Prof. Lifeng Chi and Prof. Lin Jiang, and then conducted postdoctoral research at Soochow University and Nanyang Technological University (2023.01-2024.01) under the supervision of Prof. Lin Jiang and Prof. Xiaodong Chen.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Meiwen Peng’s research focuses on the multi-scale controllable assembly, performance regulation, and application exploration of functional nanomaterials. Through methods such as 3D printing, freeze casting, and in-situ growth/assembly, we achieve the functionalization and stabilization of nanoparticle assembly systems, laying theoretical and experimental foundations for the design and manufacture of multi-scale ordered structures of nanomaterials. This enables strong coupling of their properties in optics, mechanics, electromagnetics, and transport, and explores applications in desalination, hydrovoltaic technology, energy catalysis, and smart sensing.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Since 2015, Dr. Meiwen Peng have published 10 scientific papers as the first author/corresponding author in high-level journals in the fields of chemistry and materials science such as Adv. Mater., ACS Nano, Adv. Funct. Mater., Adv. Sci., and Nano Energy. He has been granted three authorized invention patents.
