Shaoyi Jiang MS, PhD

Dr. Shaoyi Jiang, MS, Ph.D. is the Boeing-Roundhill Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington. He received his B.S. degree in 1985 from Huaqiao University and M.S. in 1988 from the Nanjing Institute of Chemical Technology under the guidance of Profs. Shi Jun and Wang Yanru, and Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1993 under the guidance of Profs. Keith E. Gubbins and John A. Zollweg, all in chemical engineering. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley with Prof. Kenneth S. Pitzer between 1993 and 1994, and a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology with Prof. William A. Goddard, III between 1994 and 1996, both in chemistry. In 2007, he was a visiting professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT with Prof.Robert Langer. Since 2010, Prof. Jiang has been a senior editor for Langmuir, the ACS journal of fundamental interface science. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering (AIChE) in 2012, a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) in 2010, a member of the Washington StateAcademy of Sciences in 2011, and a UW Presidential Entrepreneurial Faculty Fellow in 2012. He received the Braskem Award for Excellence in Materials Engineering and Science, AIChE in 2017 and a National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2001. Prof. Jiang’s research focuses on the molecular understanding, design, and development of zwitterionic-based functional materials for biomedical and engineering applications.
