Zehuan Huang

Zehuan received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from Tsinghua University (China) in 2013. After that, he joined Prof. Xi Zhang's group at the same univerisity as a PhD candidate. In 2018, he was awarded a PhD for his works on controllable association, assembly and function of cucurbiturils host-guest chemistry. Dr. Zehuan Huang joined the Scherman group in Aug 2018 as a post-doc, working closely with Prof. Jeremy Baumberg from Physics Department for exploring new supramolecular catalytic systems. Later, in April 2019, he was awarded 'Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship'.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research interests are mainly focused on exploiting host-guest chemistry to design and create functional supramolecular systems in inter/multidisciplinary areas, involving supramolecular chemistry, polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, antimicrobial and anticancer therapy, and catalytic chemistry. Currently, I work on tailoring non-covalent interactions for studying property-structure relationships in supramolecular hydrogels and peptide-based self-assemblies.
