High-Performance Electrochemical Detection of Reactive Oxygen/Nitrogen Species inside Microfluidic Devices. Application for Monitoring Oxidative Stress from Living Cells.

With the support of China Scholarship Council, I have undergone a great experience in pursuing my academic dreams as a PhD candidate in ENS, running like a river, small at first and then passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. During this period, many people behind the scene have made significant contributions, in one way or another, and hereby I sincerely express my heartfelt gratitude. First and foremost, my great appreciation goes to Mr. Christian Amatore, my thesis director, for offering me such a chance to work in his electrochemistry group. Not only his intelligence or morality, but also the passion toward science, benefits me and makes me a fortunate child of favorable circumstance. Special thanks for his confidence and his effort of helping me to find a great postdoc position in Mirkin’s group (CUNY, USA) to continue the study in electrochemistry. My sincere thanks also go to Mr. Fethi Bedioui and Pierre Gros who have kindly accepted to evaluate this work and compose a relevant report to UPMC. The equivalent appreciation is own to Mr. Didier Devilliers and Bruno Lepioufle for acceding to examine this thesis
