King Hang Aaron Lau

Aaron leads his group in Bioinspired Molecular Interfaces in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde. He takes an interdisciplinary approach based on molecular engineering and biophysical chemistry to pioneer peptides and peptide-mimetic “peptoids” with precise molecular functionalities for antimicrobials, self-assembly, and biomedical applications. He also develops plant-based polyphenol-biopolymer composites as coatings and sustainable materials, and he frequently engages with industry in both consultancies and collaborative projects. Aaron obtained his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany, and postdoctoral training at Northwestern University, USA. His awards include an US NIH National Research Service Award and a Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Young Investigator award. Among various engagements, Aaron is Co-Director of the Strathclyde’s Leverhulme Doctoral School in Nature Inspired Acoustics responsible for materials development, and he serves as secretary of the Royal Society of Chemistry Glasgow and West of Scotland section.
