Polymer degradation and recycling, and structure-property relationships for polymer design

Dr. Tian-Tian Wang is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at LCT, having joined the group in April 2026 under the supervision of Prof. Dagmar R. D'hooge. She obtained her PhD in chemical engineering and technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2025, supervised by Prof. Yin-Ning Zhou. During her doctoral studies, she worked on the kinetics and reaction engineering of controlled polymerization systems, combining kinetic modeling and experiments to understand the evolution of chain architecture and control the resulting polymer distributions. During her postdoctoral research, she will focus on pulse laser degradation of polymers to understand the underlying mechanisms and kinetics, and the establishment of structure–property relationships to guide polymer structure modulation and the design of advanced polymer materials.
