Dr. Qi Zou (邹祺)

Qi Zou was born in Linfen, Shanxi Province. He received a Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology from Nanjing University of Science and Technology (Nanjing) in 2004, and a Master degree in Applied Chemistry from Nanjing University of Science and Technology (Nanjing) in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, he worked as a R&D manager in Shanghai Chemspec Co., Ltd. From 2009 to 2012, he was pursuing his PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. He Tian (Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences) in East China University of Science and Technology (Shanghai). During his PhD period, his research interests lied in the field of photochromic materials and fluorescent sensing materials.

He is currently a lecturer in College of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Shanghai University of Electric Power (Shanghai). His research interests mainly focus on supramolecular photochromic materials.
