DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED BIOLOGY & CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY 41 Email kingchifranco.leung@polyu.edu.hk Qualification BSc, MPhil (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University) PhD (Tokyo Institute of Technology) Postdoc (University of Groningen) ORCID ID 0000-0003-0895-9307 Dr LEUNG King-chi Franco Assistant Professor Research Overview Our research programmes are designed and orientated to exploit the full intrinsic potential of synthetic organic chemistry to build new supramolecular structures, functions and hierarchical systems. (1)Like-like Supramolecular Soft Actuators The research programme aims to develop highly dynamic, reversible, and biocompatible supramolecular soft actuators: (a) macroscopic materials shape transformations (b) materials cargo transport (c) dual-controlled supramolecular soft actuators (2)Controlled Supramolecular Transformations of Hierarchical Systems The research programme is designed to control reversibly transformations of supramolecular assembly and organisations at different hierarchical levels, in supramolecular soft materials and 2D structures on surfaces.
