I became a member of Professor Kanatzidis group in August 2015 as a postdoc. My current research involves the synthesis of new chalcogenide compounds as thermoelectric materials and properties characterization. In July 2013, I got my doctor’s degree from Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (TIPC), CAS, then I worked in TIPC as a research assistant from July 2013 to August 2015. While there I worked with prof. Rukang Li on synthesis of new nonlinear optical materials and crystal growth.
