Dr. Juntian Wu

Juntian Wu was born in China in 1994. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Lanzhou University, China, followed by a master's degree in Materials Physics and Chemistry from South China University of Technology, China. In 2019, he joined the group of Prof. Sijbren Otto at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, to pursue his doctoral degree. His PhD research focused on implementing Darwinian evolution in synthetic self-replicators and advancing the field of systems chemistry. In April 2025, he joined the group of Prof. Thomas M. Hermans at IMDEA Nanociencia, Spain, as a postdoctoral researcher to investigate supramolecular self-assembly under microfluidic conditions. At the same time, he is carrying out a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA) project on self-healing peptide membranes and their potential application in organic redox flow batteries. His current research interests include: (1) supramolecular self-assembly and its underlying mechanisms; (2) systems chemistry and emergent properties; and (3) dynamic combinatorial chemistry and its potential applications in functional materials.
