Peng Jiang

Peng Jiang, Ph.D., is a professor in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering’s Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida. He earned his Ph.D. in materials chemistry from Rice University in 2001. His research is broadly interested in developing new chemical, physical, engineering, and biological applications related to self-assembled nanostructured materials. The research focuses on four topics:  self-assembled photonic and plasmonic crystals, biomimetic broadband antireflection coatings, novel stimuli-responsive shape memory polymers, and smart window coatings for energy-efficient buildings.
