I graduated from the Department of Material Science of Fudan University in 1998 with a major in material science, and joined Dow in 2007. I now serve as Material Transformation Technology Manager for Asia Pacific R&D.

I was drawn to Dow's state-of-the-art research and development center, world-class scientists, full commitment to innovation and strong employee incentives and programs. These are all extremely appealing factors for young people who are devoted to a career in scientific research.

Material transformation is a key part of Dow's commitment to sustaining the environment through our research and development that has made water purer, helped control pollution, and made energy consumption more efficient. For example, our polymer membrane technology markedly improves water quality. Our material designs enable wind turbine rotor blades to generate clean energy. Our thermal insulation board technology makes buildings more energy efficient. These are a few of the many things that we, as scientists working at Dow, have done to contribute to the sustainable development of our planet.

I believe that following the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, we are now embracing a Green Age.
