Research

Research interests

I am a Professor, founder and the Head of Wolfson Nanomaterials & Devices Laboratory of Plymouth University (2006-2019). I have over 30 years of research and teaching experience in micro/nano scale thin films and devices and electronic engineering. My current research interest encompasses graphene & 2D materials/devices, biosensing and molecular diagnostic technology, renewable energy/solar cells, spintronics and magnetic data storage.

I graduated from Zhejiang University of China in 1981, worked in the Chinese Academy of Science until 1988 when I took a year visiting scholarship to Loughborough University of Technology. I then joined Plymouth University for my PhD studies, obtained a PhD degree in thin film data storage technology in 1993. I took a post-doc fellowship before becoming a lecturer in 1996, appointed Reader in 2004 and Professor in 2006. Over the years, I have also worked in a number of research institutions worldwide as a visiting researcher, e.g., Sony Research Centre (Yokohama, Japan), Akita Institute of Technology (Akita,Japan), and Seagate Technology (Northern Ireland). I have successfully led or participated in many national and international research projects. I am the founder of the Wolfson Lab at Plymouth. I served as UK Magnetic Society Committee member and also Independent expert reviewer for European Commission project reviews. I have published over 100 journal and conference papers, 3 book chapters and 6 patents.
