Ruxing Fu

Ph. D. candidate

Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Univiersity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, U. S.

I am a Ph. D student in UCLA, advised by Prof. Yang Yang in Materials Science and Engineering and Prof. Song Li in Bioengineering Deparment. Before entering UCLA, I received my bachelor degree of Materials Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in July, 2018.

I am currently interested in exploring novel materials and implantable devices for drug delivery.
