XUELING HOU, who is a doctoral supervisor, received her B.S degree in Chemistry from Zhengzhou University in 1996, and M.S degree in Organic Chemistry from Zhengzhou University in 2002. Under the supervisor of Prof. Runtao Li, she completed her Ph.D. (Academician) in medicinal chemistry at PEKING University in 2005. From 2007 to now, she worked in the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a visiting scholar, she went abroad for further study in 2009 at Queen’s University in Canada and 2012 at the University of South Dakota in USA.
Mainly engaged in the research of organic/inorganic hybrid photoelectric functional crystal materials. It has undertaken or participated in more than 10 national, provincial and ministerial projects. More than 70 papers were published, and 10 invention patents have been granted. Until now, 5 master's students have been trained, and 3 graduated students are currently studying.
