Personal profile
Dr. Meng Ding is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China. She received her B.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) with full scholarships provided by Singapore Ministry of Education. After her Ph.D., she joined National University of Singapore to continue her research on 2D materials assembly for energy storage devices and electrochemical water desalination applications. She received SNIC Prof. Lee Soo Ying Young Chemist Silver Award in 2021 and Gusu Innovation and Entrepreneurship Leading Talents (姑苏创新创业领军人才) in 2023.
Dr. Ding focuses on the intersections of nanomaterials assembly, water desalination, and smart soft machines. She seeks to design functional materials and reveal the underlying nanomaterials self-assembly mechanisms. The insights gained from the materials design can be utilized for sustainable water desalination and smart soft machines.
