Dr. Qiao got his PhD degree in 2006 at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he majored in Polymer Physics and learned Statistical Thermodynamics and Monte Carlo simulation method. His PhD Dissertation was "Statistical Thermodynamics of Polymer Fluid Systems". Since as early as 2005, he stated to investigate charged systems, e.g., ionic liquid, Polyelectrolyte Multilayers and surfactant via various simulation apporaches.
