She obtained her PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1990 at Stanford University, and did post-doctoral work with two Nobel Prizes in Chemistry: Prof. Henry Taube and Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn.

Her group’s research objectives are to use the principles of self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry to construct DNA nanostructures, biomimetic synthetic polymers and conjugated and metal-containing polymers.
