Description
Liquid crystal (LC) displays dominating in the present market of flat panel displays are generally based on interactions of light and LCs. Recent progress in this field indicates that integrating photochromic molecules into LC materials enables one to photomanipulate unique features such as photoinduced phase transition, photocontrolled alignment,

Person
Haifeng Yu has been leading a research group that is working on liquid crystals and micro/nano composite materials, light-responsive soft matters, and supramolecular self-assembled materials since 2012 at Peking University, China. He received his PhD from Tsinghua University, China, in 2003, after which he went to Japan, where he worked for four and a half years as a researcher at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, and Kyoto University, Japan. He joined Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan, as a specially appointed associate professor in 2008. He received the 2010 Distinguished Lectureship Award of the Asian International Symposium on Nanotechnology and Materials Chemistry. He was also the 2011 National Thousand Young Talents Program award recipient. In 2013, he obtained the NSFC Award for Excellent Young Scholar.
