Introduction
Hi, here is Xianjun Zhang (Cho). I was born in Guizhou province, China, in 1994. I completed my B.S. degree at Northeast Forestry University, Harbin City, China, in July 2017. In April 2018, I moved to Sendai City, Japan, and started a doctoral course in Professor Shen Ye’s Lab at the Department of Chemistry of Tohoku University, and received my Ph.D. degree in March 2024. While studying for the early Ph.D. course, I used advanced microscopic spectroscopies to study the light-harvesting process within a single algae cell. In the late Ph.D. course, I developed and used a new single-molecule spectroscopy method to investigate the energy transfer processes within the natural photosynthetic pigment-pigments complexes. Currently, I am a JSPS postdoctoral researcher at Shen Ye Lab and I am developing the measurement techniques of super-resolution spectral microscopy (advisor: Assoc. Prof Yutaka Shibata).
I am interested in quantum biology, cellular behavior, liquid-liquid phase separation, light-matter interaction, technical development of time/spatial/frequency-resolved spectroscopies, and so on. In my free time, I am always thinking about a scientific question, it should be specific, fundamental, important, easily-understanding. However, I can not temporally find an ideal answer. Besides doing science in daily life I also enjoy cooking, loving city walking, listening to popular music, and looking for interesting stores.
Fine Structures of Supercomplexes from Photosynthetic Organism
This is a question: These structures of proteins are pretty ? or Life itself is pretty ?
