Biography

Dr. Huixin He is an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry at Rutgers University, Newark NJ. Her current research interests include microwave chemistry to develop rapid and scalable approaches for various high quality carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene and carbon nanotubes with controlled size, porous structures, and heterogeneous atomic doping. They explore the unique properties of these carbon nanomaterials with innovative programmed assembly strategies to integrate with other nanomaterials achieve high performance applications in batteries, catalysts, molecular sensors, and multifunctional drug delivery systems.

Dr. Huixin He received her PhD in Chemistry/Nanoscience from Peking University, China in 1997. She joined National University of Singapore as a research associate, working mainly on plastic microfluid channels and micropatterns by soft lithography. In 1999, she came to the United States and worked with Professor Nongjian Tao, at Arizona State University, on molecular electronics, including the electronic properties of metallic quantum wires and single chain conducting polymer wires. In 2002, she joined as assistant professor in the Chemistry Department, at Rutgers University in Newark. She was tenured and promoted to associate professor in 2009.
