Research summary
AI-generated

This publication record actually appears to blend at least two distinct research lines under the same name: one on lunar surface geology (e.g., crater morphology, lunar sample roughness, Mare Fecunditatis evolution) and another, much larger body of work on nanomaterials for cancer therapy, particularly sonodynamic (ultrasound-triggered) and photodynamic/photothermal treatments, along with some materials-science topics like corrosion and catalytic water treatment. Prospective students should verify which specific line of work and lab this name corresponds to at the institution of interest, since the topics and methods differ substantially. The nanomedicine/materials chemistry line involves designing nanoparticle heterojunctions and catalysts to trigger tumor cell death or break down pollutants, while the planetary science line analyzes lunar surface data from missions like Chang'E.

Publication output grew steadily from about 5 papers per year in 2017 to a peak of around 12-13 per year in 2022-2024, with a slight decline in 2025.
