We actively recruit graduate students in the areas of biomaterials, organic/polymer/materials chemistry, bioengineering and chemical engineering. Our research interest includes polymeric biomaterials, polymer and materials chemistry, drug delivery, nanomedicine for therapeutic and diagnostic applications and cancer immunotherapy. If you are an admitted graduate student of Virginia Tech and are interested in our research, forward your CV to Dr. Tong (rtong@vt.edu). If you have not been admitted to Virginia Tech, send your application materials to the Chemical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering department graduate admission office first. If you are interested in getting Dr. Tong's support to apply for graduate fellowships to support your Ph.D. at VT, either US-based or international scholarship (e.g., Chinese Scholarship Council), please contact Dr. Tong directly.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT
For students enrolled in a degree program at Virginia Tech, there are research opportunities available in our group. Some laboratory experience is preferred, but not required. Those with more expertise will be given greater independence and responsibility. Email your CV or resume with your current GPA information to Dr. Tong (rtong@vt.edu).
