Dr. Guangjin Hou received his Ph.D degree in 2007 at Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He worked with Prof. Hans W. Spiess at the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research of the Max-Planck Society, Germany, as a postdoctoral researcher from 2007 to 2009. Then he joined Prof. Tatyana Polenova’s group in 2009 at the University of Delaware as a postdoctoral researcher, and was promoted to a Research Associate II in 2011. In 2012, Dr. Hou began his independent research career at the University of Delaware as a NMR scientist.
His current research interest focuses on the methodology development of solid state NMR spectroscopy and its applications in the structural and dynamics studies of solid materials, including: 1. Development of Solid-state NMR methodology and applications in structural & dynamics studies of solid materials; 2. Solid-state NMR studies of nano-interfacial multi-functional complex catalytic materials; 3. Atomic-resoluton investigations of catalytic mechanism and dynamics in catalytic reactions of syngas by solid-state NMR; 4. Solid-state NMR studies of battery materials; 5. Structural and dynamics studies of protein assemblies by solid-sate NMR.
