Research  Experience and Accomplishments

Mainly focused on the controlled  synthesis and assembly of aligned semiconductor nano/microstructures through low  temperature liquid phase method, investigation of fluorescent, photovoltaic, and  catalytic properties of such materials, and their applications in biomolecule  labeling and photovoltaic devices. Over 30 publications in top chemistry and  materials journals since 2004. Funds include: two ongoing grants from National  Natural Science Foundation of China, and one from Science Foundation for Young  Teachers of Northeast Normal University.
