Chin, Jia Min - University of Hull - Department of Chemistry

个人简介

Jia Min originally hails from the sunny island of Singapore. For her undergraduate studies, she attended Columbia University in New York on the prestigious I. I. Rabi Fellowship (from Columbia University) and the National Science Scholarship (from Singapore’s Agency for Science Technology and Research, A*STAR), graduating magna cum laude with a B.A. in Biochemistry. During this period, she trained in the laboratory of Professor Jack R. Norton, which piqued her interest in synthetic inorganic chemistry. She therefore chose to pursue inorganic chemistry research for her PhD studies under the supervision of 2005 Nobel Laureate Professor Richard R. Schrock at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she studied N2 activation by Mo and W complexes. After her studies, she returned to Singapore to serve at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, IMRE in October 2010 where she helped to start the institute’s research on coordination polymers. In April 2013, she set up and headed the Laboratory of Advanced Porous Materials at IMRE. Her lab focused on the development of new porous materials such as coordination polymers or MOFs, understanding the self-assembly mechanisms of porous films, as well as studying new applications for soft porous materials such as dry liquids. In recognition of her research work, and her mentorship of students, Jia Min was awarded the 2013 L’Oréal Singapore For Women In Science National Fellowship. Jia Min joined the University of Hull’s Chemistry Department towards the end of October 2014. Her current research interests are bio-inspired materials exhibiting special properties such as structural colour, high strength and toughness as well as self-healing capabilities.

Materials Chemistry

Our group therefore takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to science, whereby we love to ask quirky, “what-if” questions, and to have fun with what we are studying. In particular, we try to draw inspiration from nature to create functional materials.
