Biography
Jiandi Wan is currently an assistant professor in the Microsystems Engineering program at the
Kate Gleason College of Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. His degrees are in
chemistry from Wuhan University (BS,1998, MS, 2001) and Boston University (PhD, 2006). Dr
Wan worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at
Harvard University from 2006 to 2009 and moved to Princeton University in 2009 as a Research
Associate. Dr Wan’s research includes microfluidic approaches for studying cell dynamics,
biochemical reactions, emulsions, and functional materials.
