About the Author

Professor Ben Zhong Tang, The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Hong Kong
Ben Zhong Tang, is a Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. He is interested in the creation of new molecules with novel structures and unique properties. The Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) phenomenon was first discovered by Professor Tang and the first paper about AIE was published by Tang and coworkers in 2001; this paper has already been cited over 600 times. Professor Tang has acted as a guest editor for Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, organizing three special Series on Functional Polymers. He also organized a special issue in the Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials to honor of Professor Ian Manners in 2007. He is currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Polymer Chemistry Series and Editor of Polymer Bulletin.
