Profile: Professor Hu received his bachelor’s degree in 2004 from College of Science, Northeast Forestry University and received his doctorate in science in 2009 from College of Chemistry, Jilin University. In the same year, he joined the faculty at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Nanjing University. He was promoted from lecturer to associate professor, and then to professor. Hu’s research focuses on the preparation and optical application of liquid crystal microstructure and has made innovative contributions to photo-induced liquid crystal domains, LED dimming technology based on optical addressing, and liquid crystal technology based optical communication and terahertz components. He has published 100 papers, with over 1,750 citations and an H-index of 25 according to Google Scholar. He has applied for 58 invention patents, has authored seven chapters for co-authored manuscripts and has been invited to speak at more than 30 conferences at home and abroad. In 2016, Hu was praised by the Editorial Board of Liquid Crystals as one of the 30 distinguished early career researchers on liquid crystals in the world and was among the 10 first winners of Nanjing University Cyrus Tang Young Scientist Award. He was also selected into the Six Expert Peaks Project of Jiangsu Province and was supported by the Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars of Jiangsu Province. Hu serves as a member of the Editorial Board for Scientific Reports, a monograph editor for Optics Express and an active reviewer for over 30 SCI journals. He is responsible for the Ministry-of-Education Key Laboratory of National Defense. He is also an evaluation expert for the National Natural Science Foundation, for the dissertation evaluation work of the Ministry of Education, for some provincial and municipal technology funds, and for expert projects and entrepreneurship and innovation projects. Hu is the founder of Forum of China LCD Young Scholars, a co-organizer of the LCD session of 2018 CPS Fall Meeting, president of the Procedure Committee of Asian Conference on Liquid Crystals, a committee co-chair of the Symposium on Liquid Crystal Photonics and a co-chair of the LCD session of the Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium.
