Faculty Profile

Dr. Meikun Fan

Professor, Assistant Dean

Physical/Analytical Chemistry

Ph.D. University of Victoria, Canada (2010)

M.Sc. Southwest China Normal University (2002)

B.Sc. Southwest China Normal University (1999)

     Dr. Fan obtained his Master's degree in Southwest China Normal University in 2002, under the supervision of Dr. Chengzhi Huang. His thesis involved the developing of analytical methods for trace amount of analytes based on fluorescence spectroscopy using the famous coffee ring effect. 

     After receiving his degree, he then worked as a university lecturer in Dalian University of Technology in China. 

     In 2005, he joined Dr. Alexandre G. Brolo's group in University of Victoria in Canada, pursuing his Ph.D. degree. His project mainly focused on the fabrication, modification and self-assembly of metallic nanoparticles for surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopic and localized surface Plasmon resonance applications. During his study, he developed different SERS substrates to work in different environment with high sensitivity and reproducibility.  He also developed a localized SPR sensor for detecting biomolecules on common plastic.

     After finishing his Ph.D., he went to University of Western Ontario for a 6 months post-doctoral research.

     In March 2011, Dr. Fan moved back to Chengdu, China, and worked as associate research scientist and principal investigator of the lab of environmental science and technology in a company.  

     In June 2013, Dr. Fan joined in Southwest China Jiaotong University and was promoted to full professor at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering.

     In 2015, he was nominated to the board of International Affair Committe of Southwest Jiaotong University. he was also appointed to assistant dean of the Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Engineering.
