Mengqi (Will) Sun

Postdoctoral Researcher

University of Washington

As I found passion in synthetic chemistry of colloidal nanoparticles, I am currently working on biomolecules-templated plasmonic assembly and machine learning-driven nanomaterials discovery in Ginger lab. I also develop strong interests in optical microscopy, data science, and computational modelling as I enjoy the creative thinking and problem solving in academic research. I am therefore involved in several collaborative projects with researchers across different disciplines. When I am not working, you can find me exercising outdoor or watching sports games.
