Ph.D. (National University of Singapore)

B. Sc. (Peking University)

Dr. Chen Tiankai received his BS degree from Peking University in 2014 and PhD degree from National University of Singapore in 2018. After that, he worked as a research fellow in National University of Singapore. In 2022, he joined CUHK(SZ) as an assistant professor.

His research interests include:

（1）Developing atomically precise nanomaterials like metal nanoclusters and quantum dots.

（2）Deciphering the nanochemistry associated with the nanomaterials.

As of Oct 2022, he has co-authored 36 peer-reviewed articles in top chemistry/material science journals including J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and Adv. Mat. They have received more than 2400 citations (Web of Science).
