Haihui received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2015. Before joining the University of Chicago, he completed a Postdoctoral Appointment at UW Milwaukee and worked as a Sensor Scientist for NanoAffix Science, LLC. Haihui received his M.S. at Fudan University and his B.S. at Nanjing University of Science and Technology in China.
Haihui's research focuses on the first principles/molecular dynamics simulations and statistical thermodynamics modelings on the novel two dimensional nanomaterials for environment and energy applications. These include the field effect transistor nanosensors for detecting various targets of interest (e.g., gases, heavy metal ions, bacteria, proteins, and viruses), and energy storage devices (e.g., electrochemical fuel cells and batteries).
