EXPERIENCE

LabPro Chicago Inc., Westmont, IL Sep 2013 – Present

LCMS Scientist

• Method development of 4 drug panels including common opiates, benzodiazepines & analgesics, Tricyclic anti-

depressants, Cannabinoid, Amphetamine stimulants, Barbiturates and bath salt as well as alcohol metabolism

• Sample prep, data explore and result review; Daily maintenance of two instruments including trouble shootings at least

once a week (the instruments just keep error out every week)

• Reviewing requisition of patients and sorting medication related to our test (pain management and drug abuse) before

releasing our result

Agilent Technology, Beijing, China May 2010 – Oct 2010

Research Intern

• Trained with Agilent chemistry and mass hunter work station quantitative and qualitative software and method

developments

• Knowing mechanism of how Agilent HPLC and mass spectrometry works and conduct daily maintenance

• Trained with sample prep skills and SOPs

Tsinghua University and China Institute of Metrology, Beijing, China Jun 2009 Jul 2010

Project: The application of Mass Spectrometry in Environmental Analysis

• Improved LTP ionization efficiency of DBDI (dielectric barrier discharge ionization) mini-MS system by adding the

glass wool and ionic pump through a three-way valve connected with DBDI probe

• Method development for the DBDI-MS(trial aborted due to the issue of the ownership of the instrument)

Academic Projects

Novel Copolymers of Ring Substituted Methyl 2 Cyano 3 Phenyl 2 Propenoates and Styrene

• The goal of this project was to synthesize a new copolymer from a Tri-substituted ethylene (TSE) and styrene. The

TSE was prepared from an R-benzaldehyde and methyl cyanoacetae by a crossed aldol reaction using piperidine as a

base catalyst.

• The novel copolymer was then characterized.

Investigation of Oxidative coupling polymerizations of conjugated polymers

• The goal of this project was to investigate the properties of conjugated polymers with respect to their potential to be

electroluminescence of LED materials
