Abstract

The pursuit of PhD is never an easy journey that could be completed alone. Over my four years of postgraduate study, I have received numerous supports from my supervisors, colleagues, friends, and family members. It is my honour to express my sincere thanks all people who have helped me and to acknowledge their contributions to this thesis.First of all, I am extremely grateful to my main supervisor, Assoc Prof Zhou Yan, for her immense knowledge, inspiring enthusiasm, enlightening guidance and unequivocal trust throughout my course of study. She is a caring supervisor loved by all her students and a perfect career role model in academia. Working with her in the beginning stage of my research profession has been a great privilege and a lifetime fortune for my future endeavours. I would also like to extend my appreciation to my thesis advisory committee members, Assoc Prof Richard Webster and Prof Liu Yu, for their warm supports.
