Prof. Shouwu Guo received his doctoral degree from Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel, in 1999. After working as postdoctoral and research scientist in University of Minnesota and Northwestern University, USA, he moved back to China at the end of 2005. He is now a professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and his research interests are focused on synthesis and assemble of graphene and low dimensional nanomaterials, nanofabrication and nanomanipulation based on scanning probe microscopy, and application of graphene and nanomaterials in energy storage devices, biocatalysts and sensors.
