Biography:
Dr. Khoa V. Le received his Ph.D. in Engineering from the Tokyo
Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2011. In 2015, he joined the Tokyo
University of Science, where he is currently an Associate Professor. His
research interests include electro-optic effects in liquid crystals and
molecular interactions in lyotropic systems. More recently, his work has
focused on water-based polymeric materials, combining lyotropic liquid
crystals with hydrogels to achieve novel functionalities such as
enhanced toughness and adhesiveness. His research aims to develop
practical applications in biological alternatives, bio-adhesives, and
microplastic capture materials.
Dr. Le has an extensive publication record built on strong international
collaborations, with papers featured in prestigious, top-tier journals
such as Nature Communications, PNAS, and Advanced Materials. His
contributions have been widely recognized by academic societies,
including three awards from the Japanese Liquid Crystals Society.
Additionally, he serves as a Regional Editor for Molecular Crystals and
Liquid Crystals, a well-established journal published by Taylor &
Francis, UK. |
