RESEARCH INTEREST                                                   
2006 – present, My research involves the use of novel mass spectrometric approaches, including various photoionization methods to investigate the dissociation processes of organic and biomolecules. Now, a commercial Q-TOF MS is coupled to synchrotron VUV light to study the fragmentation of proteins. In addition, methods, instrumentation and theory related to mass spectrometry are also carried out.

2002 – 2006, Most of my work is focused on the photo-induced chemical dynamic processes in condensed phase by laser flash photolysis.
