Shengli Zou received B.S. and M.S. degrees in physical chemistry from Shandong University in China and a Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Emory University (with Professor Joel M. Bowman) in 2003. He has been a postdoctoral fellow in Professor George C. Schatz s lab at Northwestern University since December 2002. His research interests include the optical properties of nanoparticles and nanoparticle arrays and their applications in biological sensing. He is also interested in the self-assembly of biomolecules.
