Jingshan Du is currently a graduate student in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University. He received a B.S. in Engineering from the Chu Kochen Honors College of Zhejiang University in 2015.
Du is interested in a broad range of topics across materials science and chemical physics. As a Research Assistant in both the Mirkin Research Group and the VPD Group, he is most interested in the growth and transformation of complex nanostructures. When he was a Research Student in the State Key Laboratory of Silicon Materials at Zhejiang University, he has been working on topics including design and wet-chemical synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials and their applications in heterogeneous catalysis and plasmonics. In summer 2014, he spent two months in the Duan Research Group at UCLA working on nanostructured materials for oxygen evolution. He spent his senior year in the Weitz Lab at Harvard University as a Visiting Undergraduate, where he focused on in situ studies of the formation and transition mechanisms of nanoparticles.
