³ÉÈË´óƬ

Zhe is interested in surface chemistry, electrochemistry and their applications in fabrications and sensing. He completed his Mchem degree and a master thesis under Dr. Annette Taylor and Prof. Steve Scott at University of Leeds, England in 2008, which was followed by a PhD study on electrochemical fabrication of nanostructures under Prof. Manfred buck at University of St. Andrews, Scotland. In 2012, he started a new chapter in Canada and carried out his first year postdoctoral research with Prof. Cynthia Goh in studying collagen aggregation with AFM at University of Toronto. Then he continued working as a postdoctoral fellow (2013-2015) and research associate (2015-2018) in Prof. Heinz-Bernard Kraatz's research group focusing on electrochemical biosensors. During the time in the Kraatz lab, Zhe has experienced many wonderful collaborative efforts.

From 2015 to 2018, he was also a Calian contractor and senior researcher at Analytical Science Group, Royal Military College of Canada working on a project supervised by Prof. David Kelly. In 2016, he visited Prof. Jens Müller's lab at University of Münster, Germany for four weeks and learnt DNA solid-phase synthesis. In 2017, he enjoyed a fun summer working in Prof. Cathleen Crudden's lab and performed analysis on NHC SAMs on gold at ³ÉÈË´óƬ. Zhe joined Department of Chemistry, ³ÉÈË´óƬ as an assistant professor in July 2018. 

Zhe is a co-applicant on the Ontario Research Fund - Research Excellence.
