About
Khloe Shuk-Ying Kwan is a rising leader in supramolecular chemistry and soft functional materials, with a focus on designing photoresponsive systems that mimic biological motion. Her research centers on the co-assembly of charged amphiphiles, particularly stiff-stilbene derivatives, to create macroscopic materials that respond to light. Kwan’s major contribution lies in developing a shear-flow method that uses charge screening with inorganic salts to fabricate macroscopic photoresponsive soft materials and artificial muscles—an approach that overcomes limitations of charged end-group incompatibility. Her most-cited work, “Aqueous Supramolecular Co‐Assembly of Anionic and Cationic Photoresponsive Stiff‐Stilbene Amphiphiles” (2022, 17 citations), demonstrates how opposing charges can be harnessed to build functional, stimuli-responsive structures. This achievement has implications for advanced robotics and adaptive materials. Kwan’s innovative methodology and clear vision for translating molecular assembly into macroscopic function mark her as a promising young scientist whose work bridges fundamental chemistry and practical engineering, inspiring students to explore the frontiers of smart materials.
