Biography

Jiong Lu holds professorship at the Department of Chemistry, Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials, National University of Singapore (NUS). He received his Bachelor’s degree from Fudan University, PhD degree from NUS, and then did postdoctoral research in Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley. His current research interests include atomic-scale materials design and investigation of atomic-scale science in low-dimensional materials towards next-generation solid state devices and atomically-precise catalysis. Dr. Lu is a recipient of JMCA Emerging Investigators 2019 and NUS Faculty of Science Young Scientist Award (2021). His team has published 100+ high-impact papers, many of these in top journals including 20+ Nature and Science series of publications amongst others. Recent publications were selected as JACS Emerging Investigators 2021 and JACS Readers’ pick 2021.
