Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry

林文斌博士获美国国家科学基金化学博士后奖学金。他在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校获得博士学位，师从Gregory Girolami教授。林博士将在托宾·马克斯教授的赞助下继续在西北大学进行研究。他的博士后研究方向是新型有机二阶非线性光学材料的合成和表征。本研究旨在对使用硅氧烷自组装技术制备的非中心发色多层膜的微观结构，以及微观结构、体非线性和这些自组装膜的热稳定性和时间稳定性之间的相互关系有一个基本的了解。更好地理解这些相互关系对于开发用于实际器件的新型二阶非线性光学材料至关重要。化学博士后研究奖学金项目被视为一项重要的基础设施项目，旨在拓宽新博士的知识和经验，吸引他们从事当代化学研究和教学中有意义的职业。

Dr.Wenbin Lin has been awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Chemistry. Dr. Lin received his doctoral degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of Professor Gregory Girolami. Dr. Lin will continue research at Northwestern Univesity under the sponsorship of Professor Tobin Marks. His postdoctoral research will target the synthesis and characterization of novel organic second-order nonlinear optical materials. The work seeks a fundamental understanding of the microscopic structures of the acentric chromophoric multilayers which are prepared using siloxane self-assembly technology, as well as the interrelationships between microscopic structures, bulk nonlinearities, and thermal and temporal stabilities of these self-assembled films. Better understanding of these interrelationships is crucial to the development of novel second-order nonlinear optical materials for application in practical devices. The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Chemistry Program is viewed as an important infrastructural program designed to broaden the knowledge and experience of new Ph. D.s and attract them into meaningful careers in contemporary chemical research and teaching.
