Professor Guodong Qian received his bachelor’s (1988) and master’s (1992) degrees in Materials Science from Zhejiang University. He joined the Materials Department of Zhejiang University after obtaining his PhD degree from the same University in 1997. He has been Visiting Scholar and Visiting Professor at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, China, and at Kyoto University, Japan. He was awarded JSPS Research Fellowship (December 2001-February 2002) as a Visiting Researcher at the Photon Craft Project, ICORP, JST in Japan. He was promoted to full professor and Distinguished Scholar in 2002 and 2011, respectively.
Professor Qian is the coordinator of many national projects and the author of more than 290 scientific papers. He also has 32 patents. In 2001, he was awarded the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of China, Fok Ying Tung Education Foundation for Young Teachers and Trans-Century Training Programme Foundation for the Talents by Ministry of Education, respectively. In 2004, he was awarded the Kurata Award by The Ceramic Society of Japan. He was the winner of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2006.
His current research interests include hybrid organic-inorganic photonic materials (solid tunable laser media, luminescence materials and nonlinear optical materials); cathode or anode materials of lithium-ion batteries; photonic glasses; optical spectroscopy; metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the sensing, storage and separation.
