Prof. Ren-Hua Jin graduated from Jilin University (Changchun, China) in 1982 and completed his PhD study in the synthesis and application of chiral ligand polymers with chiral discrimination of racemic amino acids at Nankai University (Tianjin, China) in 1987. After that, he joined Beijing University of Chemical Technology as an assistant professor and realized his postdoctoral research at the University of Tokyo. He worked at Miyazaki University as an associate professor from 1994 to 1997. Then, he worked in Kawamura Institute of Chemical Research and Central Reaserch Lab of DIC Corporation as a leader for 14 years and moved to Kanagawa University as a full professor since April 2012. He has published more than 100 papers in high impact journals such as Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater., and holds more than 80 patents.

His current research interests lie in the architecture of amphiphilic polymers and their self-assemblies, biomimetic mineralization, design of hybrid nanomaterials with shape- and/or chirality-control, and their applications in catalysis, separation, optical materials, sensing, etc.
