With the outcome of this thesis, my PhD journal is coming to the end. Looking back on this unforgettable journal, I found that there are a lot people I should appreciate. Hence, I would like to express my gratitude to people who have supported me in the past few years.
First of all, my I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Gert-Jan Williem Euverink. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do my PhD project in this excellent group. Without your guidance and support, I would not be able to finish this thesis. I also appreciate the freedom you give in conducting scientific research, which tranis me into an independent researcher. Your critical thinking as well as enthusiasm on science will always inspire me to pursue my future scientific career.
Also, I would like to express my sincereity to Dr. Janneke Krooneman for all the nice discussions and valuable feedback on the manuscripts. And also thanks for the barbecue in your facny houce and I enjoyed the discussion with your husband, a very nice catch up. My thanks also go to the reading committee, Prof. Jacek Dach, Prof. Paolo Pescarmona and Prof. Joanna Falcoa Salles for reading the draft and giving me the valuable comments. I would like also to thank Prof. Marc van der marrel and Dr. Edita Jurak for all kinds of discussions and suggestions during the group meetings.
I also want to give special thanks to Wanli Zheng and Prof. Renjie Dong. Without your efforts obtaining the DPSD project I would never have chance to work here. I hope this thesis will at least live up to the funding you acquired from the CSC.
A lot of thanks should also be given to Alle and Jan, thanks for your help in chemical ordering and technical issues, the talking are always enjoyful.
