Xuecong Li (李雪聪)


I am a passionate and dedicated researcher currently in the second year of my PhD journey. Under the esteemed supervision of Dr. Simone Ruggeri, Prof. Dr. Han Zuilhof, and Prof. Dr. Ir. Jasper van der Gucht, I am focusing on the nanoscale chemical characterization of polymers and surfaces.

My academic background is rooted in a diverse array of disciplines. I received my Bachelor's degree in Material Science and Engineering from Beihang University (BUAA), where I laid the foundation for my research pursuits. Eager to explore the intersections of chemistry and biology, I then pursued a Master's degree at the University of Zurich. Under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Felix Zelder, I specialized in bio-inorganic chemistry, further enriching my knowledge and expertise.

Welcome to the personal website of a proud scholar and world traveler, where tradition and innovation coexist harmoniously. Our emblem represents the unique journey and aspirations of its bearer, inspired by the rich cultural heritage and academic achievements.

At the crest of the coat of arms, the ancient Chinese phrase "海晏河清" signifies peace and tranquility. The torse below presents the iconic symbol of Wuxi, the hometown of our scholar, while the crown of 玉皇大帝 embodies a connection to the divine.

The central shield celebrates the academic journey, featuring the esteemed institutions of Wageningen University, BUAA, and UZH, which have played pivotal roles in our bearer's education. The shield also highlights the cutting-edge research on AFM-IR and polymers conducted during the current PhD program.

Flanking the shield, two loyal companions stand guard: the lovable Labrador, Makka Pakka, and the spirited Min Pin, Nano. Together, they symbolize the unwavering support and love that family and friends provide throughout life's journey.

Beneath the shield, the Latin motto "Veni, Vidi, Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered) encapsulates the spirit of perseverance, determination, and accomplishment that drives our scholar forward.
