Designing and synthesizing materials which can be processed in green solvents

Bio

I was born in a beautiful small town of Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. I attented the Wenzhou Normal University since I wanted to be a teacher back then and I became a chemistry teacher in the best high school in the  town after graduation.  Longing to broaden my experience, expertise and get involved in real research, I completed my graduated program in Shanghai Jiaotong University obtaining a M.S in Medicine (pharmaceutical chemistry), during that 3 years I studied the designing and synthesis of anti-cancer drugs. I joined the lab of Profs. Gui Bazan in March 2011 where I worked on semiconducting materials for bioelectrochemical applications and now working on organic solar cell which are promising to be processed in environment friendly solvents. 

Research

I am working on Solar Cell Project, mainly focusing on designing and synthesizing materials which can be processed in green solvents.
