Prof. Lei Zhu received his B.S. degree in Materials Chemistry in 1993 and M.S. degree in Polymer Chemistry and Physics in 1996 from Fudan University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Science from the University of Akron in 2000. After a 2-year postdoctoral experience at the Maurice Morton Institute, University of Akron, he joined the Institute of Materials Science in the Department of Chemical, Materials and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Connecticut as an Assistant Professor. In 2007, Lei was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. In 2009, he moved to Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University as an Associate Professor. Lei was promoted to Full Professor in 2013. His research interests include high κ polymer and organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials for high energy density capacitor applications, development of artificial antibody as nanomedicines, and supramolecular selfassembly of discotic liquid crystals. Lei a is recipient of NSF Career Award, 3M Non-tenured Faculty Award, DuPont Young Professor Award, and Rogers Teaching Excellence Award.
