Profile: Li Aidong received her bachelor’s in 1988 from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Zhejiang University, and worked with the Department of Applied Chemistry, Harbin Institute of Technology, from 1988 to 1994, and she received her master’s from this department in 1993. In 1996, she received her doctorate in science from Nanjing University’s Department of Physics and has been teaching and researching since then at the university’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. She went as a visiting scholar to Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2000 and University of California, Berkeley, in 2005. To this day, she has taken charge of and participated in a number of projects, including sub-projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Key Basic Research Program (the 973 Program) and some sponsored by the Ministry of Education or Jiangsu Province or entrusted by overseas corporations. She has published over 130 SCI papers, which have been cited for more than 600 times, and 35 of these papers have been published in such international journals as Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Applied Physics, Chemistry of Materials, Journal of Materials Chemistry and Journal of Physical Chemistry C. She has been selected into the New Century Excellent Talents Program by the Ministry of Education and the “333” Expert Project of Jiangsu Province. In addition, she has 14 Chinese invention patents, a second prize of the National Natural Science Award, a first prize of the National Natural Science Award by the Ministry of Education and a first prize of Science and Technology Award by China Association for Instrumental Analysis (CAIA). Her research fields include: (1) information storage materials and devices; (2) principles and applications of atomic layer deposition; (3) material preparation by chemical methods: wet chemistry, metallic organic vapor deposition and self-aggregation.
Graduate Students Advisement: Professor Li has supervised 12 master’s students, 6 doctoral students and 1 post-doctoral researcher, among whom Gao Yuan received the Excellent Master’s Thesis Award of Jiangsu Province in 2007 and Cao Yanqiang received the first prize of the Best Posters at the First International Conference on ALD Applications & the Second China ALD Conference in 2012.
