I received my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin in 2019, working with Prof. Nathaniel A. Lynd and Prof. Benjamin K. Keitz. After that, I pursued postdoctoral research at MIT under Prof. Ariel L. Furst. I have authored papers in prestigious journals such as Nature Chemistry, PNAS, and JACS, and have received several accolades, including receiving the PMSE Future Faculty Scholar Prize from the ACS. In spring 2024, I established the Fan Lab in the Chemical Engineering department at the University of Rochester. Our research focuses on interdisciplinary work at the intersection of bioengineering, chemical engineering, and polymer chemistry. Notable achievements include developing atom transfer radical polymerization using electroactive bacteria and creating a novel electrocatalyst immobilization technique using DNA for enhanced CO2 reduction. Recently, my lab was awarded a pilot program from the University of Rochester Medical Center to investigate the impact of plastics on health.
