He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2004. After three years’ postdoctoral research in supramolecular gels at the Physics Department of NUS, he moved to Australia. His current research focus is crystallization control of the fiber formation in soft materials including supramolecular gels and three dimensional tissue engineering scaffolds, which have been suported by the Australian Research Council through Future Fellowship and Discovery Projects. His work has been published in 115 journal articles in journals such as Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials and Biomaterials.
