Shanshan Huo 博士(PHD DEGREE)

集萃产业导师(JITRI INDUSTRIAL SUPERVISOR)

Experienced materials scientist with extensive commercial, operational and project management skills.
I am a highly qualified materials scientist with comprehensive knowledge of polymer and polymer composites. I have extensive experience developing new market-driven polymer composites for many different industrial applications. Recently I developed a new family of innovative, high-performance thermoplastic composites which are currently being patented.
I have strong understanding of the commercial and operational issues that need to be considered when building new businesses or creating valuable intellectual property. I excel at problem-solving and consistently exceed my targets. As a Chinese citizen, I understand Asian business culture and have been a key member of a team that negotiated deals and developed commercial plans for Chinese companies wishing to work with the University of Manchester.
As an experienced project manager, I have managed R&D and commercial projects utilising different nanotechnologies, including nanocomposites, bio-composites, textile, advanced additive manufacture, self-healing polymer, waste energy recovery, superlubricants, nuclear waste treatment, process/manufacture optimisation, and wearables. During my career I have developed strong interpersonal skills and have a proven track record of thriving in highly pressurised and challenging environments. I am very committed to my work and consistently meet agreed deadlines. I always build and maintain good relationships with customers, development partners and colleagues.
