Prof. Guorong Wu graduated from University of Science and Technology of China in 1998, and received his Ph. D. degree from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) in 2005. He stayed another two years at DICP as an assistant professor before he went to Queen’s University, Canada for a postdoctor in 2007. In 2008, he went to National Research Council of Canada as a research assistant. In 2011, he returned back to DICP and was pointed as an associate professor. Since 2013, he has become a professor at DICP.

Research Interests:

Professor Guorong Wu is currently focused at the following research interests:

1. The experimental study of the ultrafast excited dynamics of polyatomic molecules, including processes of internal conversion, intersystem crossing, electron/proton transfer, isomerization etc.

2. Reaction dynamics study of elementary reactions involving polyatomics using crossed-beam and time-sliced velocity map imaging methods.

3. The quantum control of reaction dynamics using ultrafast laser pulses.

4. The 3D shaping of ultrafast laser pulses, including temporal and spatial shaping with emphasis at the applications of the shaped pulses to quantum control of chemical reactions and the development of free electron laser facility.
