Qingwen Li is a professor Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics, CAS. She got M.S. and PhD in physical chemistry in 1990 and 2000 from Shandong University and Tsinghua University, respectively. She has been working on the synthesis and applications of carbon nanotubes since she joined Prof. Zhongfan Liu’s group as a postdoc in 2001. Her interests include carbon nanotube controllable growth, surface modification and application development. From 2003 to 2005, she has worked on the application of carbon nanotubes in strong and multifunctional composites in University of Cambridge and Los Alamos national laboratory. She joined Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics at the end of 2007, as a professor of “hundred talent project” supported by Chinese Academy of Science. She has published over 80 peer reviewed journal articles and applied more than 20 patents. She has won the Nano 50TM and Micro 25 awards in 2007 (US) and also award of excellence by Los Alamos National lab. Her current research focus is on the controlled synthesis and applications of nanocarbon materials.

Abstract
Both graphene and carbon nanotubes have shown excellent properties in mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conduction and chemical stability. Processing them into fiber forms and exploring their structure dependent multifunctional properties for flexible and wearable devices have become one of the hottest topic in the past few years. In my talk, I will summarize our recent research on how to assemble graphene and carbon nanotubes into fibers with controllable morphology and properties, and cover the following aspects: 1) Comparison between graphene fiber and carbon fiber, 2) Processing graphene fiber into robust and sensible network, 3) Assembling graphene on carbon nanotube fibers for multifunctional applications, 4) Designing graphene/carbon nanotube interfaces with novel electromechanical.
