Jingshan Du is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University, co-advised by Prof. Chad A. Mirkin and Prof. Vinayak P. Dravid. He received his B.Sc. in Engineering from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University in 2015. Under the advisory of Prof. Deren Yang and Prof. Hui Zhang, he investigated the synthesis and structural evolution of colloidal noble metal and oxide nanostructures for catalytic purposes. Before joining Northwestern, he spent his senior year with Prof. David A. Weitz at Harvard University studying the interfacial dynamics of AgCl−Ag nanoparticle heterojunctions using in situ electron microscopy. His current research interests include complex nanoparticle systems, nanoscale thermodynamics, and nanoscale phase transformation. He was named a Ryan Fellow by the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern University, a Perkin Scholar by the Society of Chemical Industry America, and a recipient of the 2019 IPMI Sabin Metal Ron Bleggi Student Award. He currently serves as the Vice President of the SPIE Northwestern University Chapter.
Chenfei Hu is currently a Ph.D. candidate at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He got his Bachelor’s degree in Optoelectronics at Tianjin University, China in 2014, and Master’s degree in ECE at Duke University (Durham, NC). His research is focused on optical engineering, microscopy, and biophotonics. So far, he has authored 8 research articles and more than 15 conference presentations.
Simone Bianconi is a 4th year PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department, president of the Northwestern SPIE student chapter and Ryan Fellow since 2018, at Northwestern he organized and took part in several career development and outreach events.
