Biography:

Dr.Lei Xia joined Hefei University of Technology in 2022 winter, as anAssociate Professor of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineeringat. He received his bachelor’s degree from Hefei University ofTechnology in 2015 and his Ph. D. from the University of Science andTechnology of China (USTC) in 2020. He then served as USTCPostdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Chunyan Hong and Prof. Yezi You. Hisresearch focuses on novel controlled polymerization for constructdegradable, functional, and advanced polymers, and their applicationin biofield like antibacterial/anticancer therapies. In addition, heis also interest in studying new small molecules/macromoleculesagents to enhance oil recovery.
