Her research focuses on interface between nanophotonics and biophotonics to gain a better understanding of the processes involved to manipulate nanometer-sized particles using light fields which contribute to the development of new techniques for single-molecule level detection and analysis.

He graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology and completed post-doctoral fellowship research at the Genetics department of Harvard Medical School. He has been an associate professor since 2015, working with teaching and research at Tianjin University. His main research focus has been investigating genome integrity and epigenetic modulation of DNA damage repair, both of which are hallmarks of cancers, using eukaryotic model systems including C. elegans (worms) and human cells.

Eunyu Kim's principal research interest is understanding how plants cope with environmental stresses to improve crop resilience and develop better crops. She has mainly focused on regulating stress-responsive mechanisms and their potential application in Arabidopsis, rice and hot pepper. These studies were published in high-impact journals and generated numerous international patents. She has obtained three research grants as a principal investigator in South Korea and China. Kim got her Ph.D. at Yonsei University in South Korea.

Kappes' research focuses on chromatin biology, epigenetics and tumor biology. He is especially interested in how the unique chromatin-associated oncogene DEK, a long-standing interest in the laboratory, participates in and regulates these processes. His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include molecular biology, cell biology, epigenetics and biochemistry. He has authored over 30 papers relating to DEK biology, some of which appeared in leading academic journals including PNAS, Genes & Development and Nature Communications.

Yiu Wing Kam's major area of research activity is on the study of the adaptive immune response in patients (focusing on IgG class switching and epitope identification). He is also interested in studying the virus-host interaction, findings from which will contribute to biomarker identification and immunotherapy development. In addition, he hopes to draw on his research knowledge to develop better vaccine candidates against infectious diseases (particularly epitope-specific antibodies and epitope specificity at single amino acid level).

Her training and scholarship fall at the intersection of social and cultural psychology. Through her research, she aims to broaden our understanding of how individuals in various cultural contexts can thrive, especially through close relationships. Her research has focused on the ways culture influences individuals' altruistic behaviors in close relationships, such as forgiveness, adjustment, and sacrifice.

His research focus includes number theory, combinatorics, symbolic computation, and probability. He is mainly interested in using symbolic computation and experimental mathematics to study topics in analytic number theory and combinatorics. He has published papers in leading academic journals including the Journal of Number Theory and the Journal of Symbolic Computation. Jiu has a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. from the Beijing Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from Tulane University, New Orleans.

Her research focuses on late imperial/early modern (16th to 19th century) Chinese literature, exploring how literati and gentry women reconciled the relationship between self and the world and constructed identities through their writings of sensory experiences. She is especially interested in the representations of senses in underrepresented genres like?tanci?(plucking rhymes),?xiaopin?(vignette), and?yiyu?(reminiscent words). Her teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include advanced-level Chinese language, classical Chinese, early modern Chinese literature, and Jiangnan culture. Ji has a B.A.

His research focuses on understanding quantum nature of light and matter and developing ways to harness them for next generation quantum technologies including quantum computing. His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include integrated science and advanced physics. Hwang has a B.Sc. and a Ph.D in physics from Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea. Before joining Duke Kunshan, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Ulm University, Germany.

His research is in the fields of complex analysis in several variables, harmonic analysis, and operator theory. He is particularly interested in the Bergman kernel, the Bergman projection, and mapping properties and weighted inequalities of operators in several complex variables. His teaching interests include foundational and advanced mathematics courses in pure math. Huo has a B.Sc. in mathematics from Wuhan University, and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. From 2016 to 2018, he worked at Washington University in St. Louis as a postdoctoral fellow.
