CHEN Yuzhe obtained her PhD from TIPC, CAS under the supervision of Prof. Chen-Ho Tung and WU Lizhu in 2006. She then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Richard G. Weiss at Georgetown University from 2007 to 2009. She is currently a professor in TIPC. Her current research interests are focused on photochemistry and photophysics in supramolecular systems, including photoinduced energy transfer and electron transfer process, room temperature phosphorescence, artificial light harvesting system and optical sensors.
