biography
He is a key stuff of the Key Laboratory of Detection for Biotoxins, Ministry of Agriculture P. R. China. He was a visiting scholar of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research area includes the development of novel biosensors (or lab-on-a-chip) based on nanostructured materials (as Eu3+, quantum dot, etc.) for the analysis of major chemical contaminants (as biotoxin, pesticide, etc.) in food and feed. He is also developing novel microreaders for rapid and on-site sensing of multi-biotoxin/pesticide and so on.
He led or participated in quite a few national research programs, such as National Natural Science Foundation, and achieved several national level awards about agro-food quality and safety. He won the National High-level Personnel of Special Support Program (Youth).
