Self-discription
When I was a little girl I always thought that I would be a painter or an engineer someday. I found my special talent in both of them through my training in charcoal drawing. It is amazing and encouraging that I recognized repeatedly that I was somehow superior in space-structure and color-choice than other mates in my age. Painting class is always my favourite and I can easily pick simple structural of sketches out from complete subjects, their inter-position, scale, every part both can be seen and unseen. moreover, I also lose myself in the color-making by combine several others. My dad is an engineer himself and everytime I looked at his architectural drawings I saw the real building in three dimensions. Oh Gosh, it seems that I was born to have a sense of it!
I love work of creation best! After I entered high school, I was once indulged in jigsaw puzzles because every step of choice would lead to diverse patterns. I learned paper folding hoping to create my own masterpiece. I also made little tools on my own such as soft box containing crewel needles and small hooks to drainage our sewers. I believe that as long as you can think anything is possible in the world.
I chose chemistry as my major when I took steps into the campus of USTC and after three years of study I found myself could not love it more!
Hao's educational record
2006 - now Class of Honor for Material Science - USTC
2006 - now Department of Polymer Science and Technology - USTC
Major in polymer chemistry
research interests: chemical and polymetic synthesis
honors:
Golden prize in the Scholarship of National Excellent Student (twice,2007 & 2008)
"Xuxin" scholarship for Excellent Student (2009)
5th and 6th place in the “CCTV” National English Speech Competition (USTC) (twice, 2007 & 2008)
2003 - 2006 Jiangshan senior high school - zhejiang
honors:
"triple-A" outstanding student of Zhejiang Province (2005)
2nd prize in the National Mathematics Competition (2005)
2nd prize in the National Chemistry Competition (Zhejiang province) (2005)
2nd prize in the National Biology Competition (Zhejiang province) (2005)
3rd prize in the National Physics Competition (Zhejiang province) (2005)
Illustration: the Class of Honor is held by the College of Chemistry since 2006, aiming at the cultivation of future research talented person. In this class, students from four departments took core courses of physics and chemistry and chose our own classes freely in the third year. I personally took the major required courses of both polymer chemistry and chemical physics which I think would help for my future research work.
Hao's research experience
Part Ⅰ: iGEM
- I handled the basic skills of Experiment on Microbiology after ten days of tense training such as cell culture, electrophoresis, fluorescence test and plasmid transfer. Also I was quiet familiar with the facilities of PCR, DNA sequencing and so on. Furthermore, I also listened to several lectures and courses of physical and chemical biology during the reorganization of former iGEM works.
- My ways of thinking was broaden by discussion with team members of different research backgrounds. These are three main complete projects we put forward.
project | content | mp3 records | |
Bio-degradation of polymer products | pick out nylon-6,6 from all the polymer products for one reason that it has a large production and the emergency to be dealt with and for another reason that I have found the separate bio-bricks maturely researched from former articles in its genes controlling degradation within and without cells. | mp3 | |
Light sensor | To combine gene regulated proteins sensitive to different wavelength for the sake of the built of gene switch as a light sensor. I found the gene sequences whose corresponding proteins are sensitive separately to both red and blue light and we can then build the sensor by Fusion Protein Approach. | mp3 | |
Simulation of six-degree theory | Based on the theory of quorum sensing of bacteria and set the plasmid delivering between cells as number counter, I tried to compare the bacterial community as human society, contact reaction through plasmid as human relationship and successful protein expression when the counter is less than 6 as a Quantitative research | mp3 |
Part Ⅱ: Chemical Synthesis
Synthesis and characterization of novel polymeric materials especially non-fouling materials under the direction of Professor Guangzhao Zhang
- In the program of non-fouling polymer I handled several methods of polymerization: living chain polymerizations like RAFT, ATRP and condensation reaction to build different kinds of polymers with non-fouling function, such as block copolymers, grafted polymers, brushes and so on. I am very familiar with the basic methods for characterizing like NMR, IR and the use of GPC.
- As for the characterization, I learned and then used three main facilities in my own experiment. I use QCM and SPR to study the interaction between different kinds of protein and my designed polymer, and I use ITC (Isothermal Titration Calorimeter) to study the thermodynamics and dynamics of different polymer systems.
Part Ⅲ: Research-oriented Physics Experiment
- During the Research-oriented Physics Experiment in University Physics Course last year, I and two other members in the Department of Materials set up a task of research in gel formation. The idea came up when we did the required experiment of Gel and found the product strangely turned yellow and differ from group tp group. In order to solve this puzzle, we designed a complete research plan all by ourselves. I used several methods of characterization like IR, DSC, SEM, X-ray and so on to find out the cause to its unusual yellow color and we also used the basic method of controlling single variable to study the influence of temperature and reaction time.

Hao's article
Comments on the movie "Naking Naking"
I knew that I would not hold on my tears and I knew I was sure to be this sad when watching the movie “the city of live and death”, just as the trip to the memorial in Nanjing a year ago. The Chinese name of the movie, “Nanjing! Nanjing!” sounds like drumbeats; maybe the name itself, with the story behind it, deserves the heart-reaching astonishment. But I am quite curious about its English name, though it seems impossible to draw a conclusion to the city, to the history, to those died and those still alive, I could not think of a better one to replace it. The live and death form the circle of human life, only a little murmurs of these words make me feel falling down into the mondain lives with philosophical veil... (more)
