​Biography
​

Jing Tang is a postdoctoral fellow with ​Professors ​​​​Yi Cui at Stanford and Jeffrey A. Reimer at UC Berkeley, inventing nature-inspired materials and devices for sustainability and health in close collaboration with Professor Zhenan Bao at Stanford​. Prior to joining the Cui Group and the Reimer Group, Jing performed postdoctoral research jointly advised by Professors Daniel S. Kohane at Harvard and Robert S. Langer at MIT and was working on therapies to treat neurological disorders, from biomaterials to smart drug delivery systems. ​​In her graduate work, supervised by Professors Gengfeng Zheng and Dongyuan Zhao at Fudan University, Jing focused on bioelectronics for artificial retina. Throughout the adventure of this scientific journey, Jing also has benefited greatly from the guidance and mentorship of Professor Bozhi Tian at the University of Chicago. Jing first met Bozhi when she was a graduate student at Fudan University, which is one of the top three universities in China.

Jing’s research has been highlighted by worldwide news media, including Nature Research, Nature News, ​Science Daily, Scientific American, Discover News, The Economist, MIT Technology Review, EurekAlert!, New Scientist, Stanford News, Berkeley News, DOE Office of Science, UC Newsroom, College of Chemistry - UC Berkeley, VOA, Science Advances, Nature Communications, and The Scientist, while also being recognized with several awards, including the MIT Technology Review 35 Innovators Under 35, the Rising Star in Engineering in Health by Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University and the Rising Star in Chemical Engineering by MIT, the UCLA Future Faculty Program,  NextProf Nexus Class of 2022, UC Berkeley/University of Michigan/Georgia Institute of Technology, and ACS PMSE Future Faculty Honoree,​among other honors. Besides her research interests, Jing has been co-leading translational initiatives and serving as the reviewer and editor on peer-reviewed journals while holding multiple patents relating to fundamental discoveries and materials innovation for sustainability and health. Outside of the lab, Jing enjoys playing the piano, art, and hiking.
