RESEARCH AREAS

Dr. Guangjin Hou received his B.S. degree from the Central China Normal University in 2001. He earned his M.S. degree in 2004 as a joint-cultivated graduate candidate of Huazhong University of Science and Technology & Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, the Chinese Academy of Scieneces (CAS), and obtained his Ph.D degree in 2007 at Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, CAS. Dr. Hou 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 senior scientist. Since September 2017, he joined the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, CAS, as a full Professor of Chemistry, and was appointed as the group leader of Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Catalytic Chemistry in State Key Laboratory of Catalysis. He is an awardee of 2017 National "Thousand Talents" Youth Program.

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. He has published over 50 articles so far in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., Nat. Commun., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Acc. Chem. Res., Environ. Sci. Technol. etc, including 1 PNAS and 7 JACS articles as the first author or corresponding author.

Research Interests:

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 sodium-ion-battery (SIB) materials;

5. Structural and dynamics studies of protein assemblies by solid-sate NMR.
