PhD visiting student:
2007-2008 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry with Profr. Jin Z. Zhang.University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC), USA.
Postdoctoral:
2011-2012 Department of Chemistry and BiochemistryUniversity of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), USA.
Research Interests:
Synthesis of luminescent metal oxides and no luminescent, novel semiconductor and metals nanoparticles with special structures and morphologies. The techniques studied to determine their structural, morphological, optical, and photovoltaic properties are: XRD, Raman, SEM, TEM, UV-VIS, PL, I-V, IPCE, etc. These materials are being studied for nanophotonics applications; Luminesce, Solar Energy Conversion, Hydrogen Generation and Storage; Cancer Biomarker Detection and Gloucose Detection. Some interesting nano-materials that we synthetize and study include Er, Yb, Dy, Eu, Ho, S and Bi, N doped ZrO2, TiO2 and Y2O3, other oxides; Fe2O3, Fe2O3@Au, Au@SiO2, semiconductors: CdTe, CdSe, Bi2S3 and metals; Au.
