Fluorescent materials plays an important role in scientific research due to their potential applications in the fields of cellular imaging,sensorsas well as optoelectronic devices.We are interested in the rational designof novel fluorescent systems forselective detectionof aggregation-induced emission bioprobeand photoswitchable fluorophores forinvisible ink application. 

Smart materials are materials that are manipulated to respond in a controllable and reversible way, modifying some of their properties via external stimuli. Recently, we developed a series of functional stimuli-responsive gels, such as self-healing, shape memory, thermo-reversible and so on, making them possible to apply insoft electronics and tissue engineering scaffold.
