Research Associate
Guolei joined in Melville laboratory in Aug 2014 as a postdoc research associate under the supervision of Prof. Oren Scherman. Now he is studying the utilization of SPR energies through chemical approaches with close collaboration with the Nano-photonics group in Cavendish Laboratory led by Prof. Jeremy Baumberg. Prior to his coming to the Univerisity of Cambridge, Guolei completed his PhD study at Tsinghua University in Beijing supervised by Prof. Xun Wang, where he conducted researches on wet-chemical synthesis of inorganic nanostructures and the surface properties of TiO2-based ultrasmall nanomaterials.
