Biography

Hao Su received a Bachelor’s degree in polymer science and engineering from Sichuan University in 2013, a Master’s degree in polymer science from the University of Akron in 2014 under the supervision of Prof Stephen Z. D. Cheng, and a Ph.D. degree in chemical and biomolecular engineering from the Johns Hopkins University in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Honggang Cui. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Bert Meijer in the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems at the Eindhoven University of Technology from 2019 to 2021. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering at Sichuan University. He is a member of the Early Career Board of Biomacromolecules. His research focuses on the design, synthesis and self-assembly of prodrugs, peptides and polypeptides for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
