Research Experience

Research Assistant

06/2012 to 07/2013

Case Western Reserve University - Cleveland, OH

Master's Research Project: Synthesis of new electron donors for solar cells

. Performed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), MALDI-TOF MS, and infrared

spectrometry experiments, and analyzed spectrums to identify products

for each step

. Collaborated with lab partner to utilize cyclic voltammetry to research

the electrochemical property of synthesized functionalized zinc-

containing phthalocyanine and calculated its HOMO and LUMO energy level

. Synthesized functionalized zinc-containing phthalocyanine from thiophene

through six reactions and discussed application of obtained

phthalocyanine as electron donors in photovoltaics. Results could be

published in lab paper

Research Assistant

10/2010 to 06/2011

Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences

- Beijing, China

Bachelor's Thesis Project: Detection of hydroxyl radicals

. Designed experiment to indirectly detect hydroxyl radicals by applying

phenylalanine as radical scavenger

. Studied high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to select the best

separation condition

. Separated and identified hydroxylation product of phenylalanine

successfully according to LC-MS results

. Accomplishment: confirmed a novel mechanism of metal-independent

production of hydroxyl radicals

Research Intern

07/2009 to 09/2009

Tian Nan Xing (TNX) Industry Co., Ltd. - Chongyang, China

Internship Project: Researched the breakage of X-ray detectable polymer

thread in winter manufacturing

. Collected data and found the polymer thread was easy to break in winter

manufacturing process

. Constructed a function between polymer thread's tensile elongation and

temperature by controlling variables in experiments. Interpreted the

function to find the tensile elongation decreased sharply after a

critical temperature point

. Provided feedback to the company to control environmental temperature

range in winter and received positive result

Additional Experience

Volunteer

July 2012

Ohio Senior Olympics - Cleveland, OH

. Worked in the hydration team for track and field athletes to serve

athletes for their needs during competition

. Recorded and reported score as a scorekeeper in badminton and hammer

throw games
