Biography

Yongmei Zheng, is a professor at School of Chemistry and Environment, and Key Laboratory of Bio-inspired Smart Interfacial Science and Technology of Ministry of Education, in Beihang University. Research interests are focused on biological surfaces and bioinspired surface materials with gradient multi-structures to realize the dynamic wetting-controlled functions. The integrating methods of physical, chemical, and nanotechnology are used to develop novel technique into fabrication of bioinspired surfaces. Wetting mechanisms, including water repellency or water collecting, droplet driving, ice-phobic, anti-icing and anti-frosting, are revealed at micro- and nano-level. Publications include in Nature, Sci. Rep., Adv. Mater., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., ACS Nano, Adv. Funct. Mater., Small, Chem. Commun., J. Mater. Chem. A, Nanoscales, ACS Appl. Mater. Interface, Soft Matter, Langmuir, Appl. Phys. Lett., etc., with 12 Cover stories.
