Welcome to
Xiaolu Zhuo WEBSITE
Xiaolu Zhuo earned her B.Sc. degree in physics from Sun Yat-sen University and her Ph.D. degree in physics from the Department of Physics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Jianfang Wang. She conducted her postdoctoral research at CIC biomaGUNE (Spain) as a Juan de la Cierva fellow under the supervision of Prof. L. M. Liz-Marzán. She joined the School of Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) as an Assistant Professor in 2022. Her research interests include the synthesis of metallic/dielectric nanoparticles, their optical properties, and their applications.
(1) Synthesis of novel plasmonic nanoparticles, especially chiral plasmonic nanoparticles
(2) Light manipulation with plasmonic and dielectric nanoparticles
(3) Light-matter interactions and surface-enhanced spectroscopies
(4) Self-assembly technology of nanoparticles
