Bio:
Dr. Jier Huang is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Boston College. The major theme of her research is focused on the development of cutting edge materials for various chemical reactions and applications in sustainable energy source. This effort involves the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of hybrid porous and semiconducting materials, with an aim to correlate the structure of these materials with their photophysical and photochemical properties. Currently, her group is investigating new hybrid materials including covalent organic frameworks (COFs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), and semiconductor nanocrystals. The hallmark of her research program is the close integration of materials design and synthesis with advanced time resolved and in situ spectroscopic techniques, which allows them to probe the unknown and underexplored structure/function relationships of the hybrid materials.
