About Us

Expertise: Polymer structure design and synthesis, Polymer structure-property relationship, Bioabsorbable polymers, Fluoropolymers, Polymer surface modification, and Global business strategy.

Aaron obtained his PhD from Virginia Tech in 1992. He is an expert in polymer chemistry with expertise in biopolymers. He worked as leader of biomaterials at W. L. Gore; CEO for Chiral Quest China; Chief Strategy Officer for Chemphy. He is a senior visiting scholar of the Chinese Academy of Sci. Awards Aaron has received include the Shanghai Magnolia Award, Dalian Friendship Award, and is the champion of the 1995 Toastmaster humorous speech contest for USA District 18.

Expertise: Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Polymer chemistry, Monomer and polymer synthesis, chemical processing and scale-up. 

Paul obtained his PhD from U. of Missouri in 2002. He then worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Iowa. His technical expertise crosses organic and polymer chemistry. His working experiences include R&D director at Adesis Inc. and President of Affinity Research Chemicals. He is a top-notch organic synthetic chemist with an extensive polymer background. As CTO, he provides leadership in structural design and synthesis of monomers and polymers, as well as processing and scale-up.

Expertise: Biochemistry, DNA synthesis, Biopolymers, Monomer and Polymer analysis and characterization, chemical processing and scale-up. 

Jason obtained his MS in 2012 from the University of Delaware. He then joined Affinity Research Chemicals as a chemist and operation director. His role at Delnova focuses on biological application of polymers, process development, and scale-up to manufacturing.

Expertise: Polymer Chemistry, Controlled Radical Polymerization 

As a director of operation, Po-Jen is tasked with designing routes for polymer synthesis and preparing polymeric materials that suit our clients’ requirements. He is experienced with controlled radical polymerization (ATRP and RAFT), anionic polymerization, addition polymerization, and condensation polymerization. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Michigan State University and a B.S. in Chemistry from National Sun Yat-sen University.

Expertise: Inorganic Fluorine Chemistry, Gas-Phase Chemistry, Ionic Liquids, Flow Chemistry.

Steven Belina graduated from Clemson University with a Ph.D. in 2018, specializing in inorganic fluorine chemistry. His research interests lie within main-group chemistry, including exploration of the utility of the pentafluorosulfanyl (SF5) moiety. At Delnova Materials, Steven focuses on preparation of customized ionic liquids for customers. He also develops new synthetic methodologies, especially flow chemistry. These new synthetic methodologies are employed to prepare otherwise difficult-to-synthesize materials, or to ensure safe scale-up of various processes.
