Luping Yu

Research in the Yu Group focuses on interdisciplinary areas between chemistry and materials science. This includes development of new materials for energy chemistry including hydrogen storage and organic solar cells. We are also interested in development of new polymerization approaches for the synthesis of functional polymers (electro-optical polymers and biocompatible polymers), synthesis and characterizations of molecular electronic components, new surface reactivity and supramolecular assembly approaches for self-assembly of nanostructured materials and development of polymeric materials for drug-delivery applications.
