The Soft Matter Science and Engineering program is an emerging interdisciplinary discipline that responds to critical social needs for developing and optimize functional and intelligent advanced materials. Rooted in physics, chemistry, materials science, and biology, this program equips students with fundamental knowledge and problem-solving skills to address multidisciplinary scientific and engineering challenges.

Focusing on fundamental scientific issues of soft matter in chemistry and chemical engineering, the program extends to advanced functional materials and high-performance hybrid materials. Aligning with global scientific frontiers, we aim to empower students to engage in real-world innovation through foundational and applied research in soft matter science.
