Plenary & Keynote Speakers
11th International Conference on Nanomaterials, Nanodevices, Fabrication and Characterization (ICNNFC 2026)
We are pleased to announce our plenary and Keynote Speakers for ICNNFC 2026 :
Dr. Peng Jiang
University of Florida, USA
Dr. Peng Jiang is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from Rice University in 2001. Following his doctoral studies, he joined Corning Incorporated as a Senior Research Scientist. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Princeton University. He subsequently held a position as a Materials Scientist at GE Global Research Center. In 2006, Dr. Jiang began his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida, where he was promoted to Associate Professor in 2010 and to Full Professor in 2014. His current research focuses on smart shape memory materials, integrated nano-optical devices, stimuli-responsive functional coatings, scalable nanomanufacturing, and biomimetic materials.
