Summary

PhD in Chemical Engineering experienced in chemical analysis and instrument troubleshooting, such as HPLC, LC-MS, GC-FID, GC-MS, ICP, NMR, etc. Especially HPLC analysis of large bio-molecules such as plant lipids, peptides and liopeptides in capsuled drugs

Professional Experiences

09/2006-present National Biofuels Laboratory, Wayne State University Detroit, USA

Graduate Research Assistant

• Develop analytical method to analyze biodiesel properties and biofuel products by GC-FID, FTIR, GC-MS, ICP, HPLC-ELSD and HPLC-UV. HPLC-ELSD method was developed to detect plant sterols, sterol glycosides content in biodiesel. The developed method was published in the peer reviewed journal. Also HPLC-UV method was developed to analyze aromatic contents in biofuels. The repeatability and accuracy of the Total Acid Number measurement for soy oil based biodiesel-diesel blends using ASTM D664 were found.

• Develop catalysts for biofuel production from hydrocracking process

07/2005-07/2006 Xi’an lipont Pharmaceutical Science and Technology Co. Xi’an, China

Research Specialist Staff

• Developing method to analyze peptide and liopeptide contents in lipsomes drugs by reversed phase HPLC

• Modifying lecithin to improve its targeting, solubility, and releasing properties

09/2002-07/2005 Chemical Engineering Department, Northwest University Xi’an, China

Graduate Research Assistant

• Synthesizing pesticides and computational modeling

• Producing cedar/fertilizer from apple/waste by fermentation process and product analysis

07/2001-09/2001 Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Ammonia Plant, Nanjing, China

Summer Intern

• Manipulating the process control panels and learning pipeline design of the ammonium nitrate fertilizer production

Education:
