I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

After all these years, @GordonConf is still my favorite. Thanks @RumblesG and Gitti for organizing an excellent meeting. Look forward to co-organizing the next one in 2026 with @vaynzof @_iainmcculloch @DeryaBaranB
Please save the date!
Thanks to @AFOSR for highlighting and supporting part of our work on chiral emergence of semiconducting polymers @ACSCentSci pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Excited to share that I will be promoted to full professor with distinguished promotion! It feels surreal as I still struggle to differentiate from grad students. A new journey of discovery, innovation and team science has just begun, only now with full degrees of freedom!
Professor Diao has received a Campus Distinguished Promotion award by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost. She will become a full professor in August, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.

Intramolecular non-covalent bond approach uses conformational locking (solid state) and unlocking (solution) to control polymer backbone conformation, solubility, processability, and liquid crystalline ordering.#JohnReynolds @jpcorreabaena @DiaoGroup

Thanks to @OsujiChinedum for visiting us and sharing intriguing work on liquid-liquid crystalline phase separation. Also learnt a lot about field-induced structural transition and symmetry breaking in complex soft matter systems. And to @alexakuenstler for bringing him here!

All students out there: do not miss the #GordonConference on Organic and Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Electronics in beautiful Barga, Italy. The conference features a GRS where you can mingle iwth your peers without the PIs around. They all join then for the GRC. – at Atlanta, GA
Thank you @aiche_mesd. The recognition is really for the students and postdocs whom I have the privilege to work with. There is nothing more fulfilling to participate in their journey of discovery and innovation! 👏 to the group and alums! @ChBEIllinois @BeckmanInst @UofIllinois
The 2024 AIChE Owens Corning Award is awarded to Prof. Ying Diao for fusing molecular assembly with interfacial phenomena to reveal unconventional mechanisms of polymer assembly, and creating innovative, scalable printing methods for nanomaterials manufacturing @ChEnected
Glad to have the opportunity to share this life-changing experience as a scientist/engineer. All parents are my heroes! Big thanks to Vivien Marx @metricausa for her wonderful creation connected through Jenna Kurtzweil of @BeckmanInst!

The authors report the inverse effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity in an organic material. @DiaoGroup @Dali_Sun_NCSU go.nature.com/3IJEThb
It took 4 years for us to come out on the other side of the chiral assembly rabbit hole to a wonderland of leveraging chiral semiconductors for controlling the electronic spin! Huge thanks to @Dali_Sun_NCSU who led the joint adventure. nature.com/articles/s41563-0…
@DiaoGroup coauthored a paper about printable organic polymers that assemble into chiral structures, making it desirable for cheaper, environmentally friendly printable electronics and understanding chirality and spin interactions
