Jian Qin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. His research focuses on the development of microscopic understanding of the structural and physical properties of soft materials, utilizing a combination of analytical theory, scaling arguments, numerical computations, and molecular simulations. He previously worked as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago alongside Juan de Pablo and Scott Milner in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Jian received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science from the University of Minnesota, where he conducted research under the supervision of David Morse and Frank Bates. His research encompasses topics such as self-assembly in multi-component polymeric systems, the molecular origins of entanglement in polymer melt rheology, coacervation in polyelectrolytes, and the effects of Coulomb interactions on dielectrically heterogeneous electrolytes. Jian has been honored with numerous awards including the John H. Dillon Medal from APS in 2022, the Tau Beta Pi Teaching Honor Roll in 2020, and the NSF CAREER Award (2019-2023).
