Pu Chen – Professor, University of Waterloo
Recipient of the Premier's Research Excellence Award and holder of a Canada Research Chair in Nano-Biomaterials, Chen has greatly contributed to theoretical underpinnings and practical applications in low dimensional thermodynamics, interfacial and nanostructure design and fabrication, peptide self/co-assembly, and energy storage and conversion. Peptide biopharmaceutics, drug and gene delivery, protein-lipid membrane interactions, emulsification, coating, plating, thin films, and eco-friendly batteries are special areas of his excellent contributions. His work on peptide mediated short interfering RNA delivery, and rechargeable hybrid aqueous batteries resulted in large scale commercialization. Innovative approaches to biomaterials, new energy sources, and solid-state physics are expected to continue.
