Dongdong Zhou received his B.S. degree in Chemistry at Nankai University in 2012 and B.E. degree in Chemical engineering at Tianjin University at the same time. He obtained his Ph.D. in Polymer chemistry and physics at Changchun Institute of applied chemistry in 2017. He worked as a post-doctoral with Prof Stephen Z. D. Cheng and Xue-hui Dong in South China Advanced Institute for Soft Matter, South China University of Technology. He is currently an associate Professor in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Sichuan University. His primary research interests focus on the precise synthesis, supramolecular self-assembly, and hierarchical structures of peptides and polypeptides, as well as their biological applications.
