معرفی
Qing-Bin Lu is a Professor and University Research Chair in Chemical Physics at the University of Waterloo, with cross-appointments in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry. His office is located in PHY 376, and he teaches undergraduate courses including Statistical Mechanics, Molecular and Cellular Biophysics, and specialized biophysics topics.
Education:
- PhD in Physics (1997), University of Newcastle, Australia
- MSc in Physics (1989), Chinese Academy of Science, China
- BSc in Physics (1986), Fuzhou University, China
Research Interests: Professor Lu's work bridges physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental science. He pioneered the cosmic-ray-driven electron-induced reaction (CRE) mechanism explaining ozone depletion and discovered the tropical ozone hole. In biomedicine, he developed novel cancer therapies using femtomedicine approaches, including non-platinum antitumor agents and laser-activated photodynamic treatments. Key focus areas include ultrafast spectroscopy, climate modeling, DNA damage mechanisms, and targeted drug delivery.
Publications: His recent articles (2015–2023) emphasize atmospheric ozone dynamics, climate science, and innovative cancer therapeutics. Atmospheric studies dominate, featuring quantitative ozone-depletion models and critiques of CO₂-centric climate theories. Biomedical publications focus on combinatorial chemotherapy, nanoparticle phototherapy, and immune defense mechanisms.
Awards:
- University Research Chair (2014–2021)
- CIHR New Investigator Award (2008–2013)
- Ontario Early Researcher Award (2007–2012)
- CIHR Senior Research Fellowship (2001–2006)
Professional Service: Peer reviewer for CIHR and Canadian Cancer Society; member of the College of Reviewers for Canada Research Chairs.
Labs and Teams: Leads interdisciplinary research in chemical physics, collaborating with medical institutions for preclinical cancer studies. Media highlights include AIP press releases on ozone discoveries and Elsevier features on anticancer molecules.
