 Background:
I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemistry
and Analytical Chemistry from Shaanxi Normal University
(http://www.snnu.edu.cn) (SNU) in 1990 and 1993,
respectively. I then worked at Ocean University of China
(http://www.ouqd.edu.cn) (OUC) for five years. My research
interests at OUC were focused on environmental analysis,
chemiluminescence, fluorescence and spectrometry combined
with flow-injection analysis, enzyme immobilization
techniques, etc. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Analytical
Chemistry from the University of New Hampshire (http://www.unh.edu)
(UNH) in 2003 and then joined Dr. Kopelman’s group as a
postdoctoral researcher in the University of Michigan. My
Ph.D. research at UNH concentrated on the development of
chemical sensors based on swellable molecularly imprinted
polymer (MIP) microspheres in a hydrogel for the analysis
of drugs, such as norephedrine, theophylline, etc
Current Research:
My current research mainly focuses on the
development of dynamic nano-platform (DNP) based on
nanoparticles containing photosensitizers or
radiosensitizer for the early detection and treatment of
cancer by photodynamic therapy (PDT) or radiation therapy
(RT), which is funded by National Cancer Institute.
