BIOGRAPHY

 

Yanzi Gou was born in Huining, Gansu Province in China. She studied in the National University of Defense Technology (China) from Sep. 2002 to Jun. 2006 and obtained her bachelor degree. She continued her study at the same university for a master degree in Materials science and technologyin Sep. 2006. After one year, she was permitted to study directly for a PhD degree under supervision of Professor Xiaodong Li in Material chemistry instead for the master degree due to her excellent performance in the examinations. In 2008, she obtained schorlarship from China Schorlarship Council (CSC) and got the permission from the former university to study in University of Warwick instead. So from Jan. 2009 to now, she is a PhD student in Department of Chemistry in University of Warwick under supervision of Professor David M. Haddleton. She passed the PhD viva on 02/12/2011.
