EXPERIENCE
Powervision INC, Belmont, California 2009-Present
Senior Scientist
• Developing accommodating IOL lens.

BIO-RAD LABORATORIES INC., Hercules, California 2006 - 2009
Senior Scientist
• Developed new thin film on glass (self assembly monolayer, silane, hydro-gels and carbohydrates) by
spinning coating, CVD, bath deposition and photolithograph. Plasma surface treatment and surface analysis
(SEM, contact angle, fluorences, etc) for SELDI, a MS-TOF system.
• Improved PDMA hydro-gels coating on capillary glass tubes for an automated CE system.
• Created more robust production procedures, better vendor relations and more realistic QC specs for various
products such as 1-D gels, beads, columns, etc.
• Validated and successfully transferred the manufacturing process of proteominer (peptide-modified hydro-
gel beads) spin column for protein purification and biomarker discovery.
• Audited external manufacture facilities for polymer and peptide synthesis.
BROWN UNIVERSITY, RI 1996-2000

partnering with NYU.
• Contracted out and managed a research project on fiber composite, which resulted in the invention of new
fiber dental post.
• Directed R&D personnel in adapting nano-technology, advanced polymeric material to existing new
products. Cooperated with several international companies in developing products.
• Submitted and published over 14 papers/posters on product research. Filed three patents.
• Managed two direct full-time reports and three indirect reports.

Scientist
Built chemical database for organic, coordination and polymer substances.
•
Reviewed chemical structure analysis.
•
Collaborated on cross-functional projects with staffs from marketing, IT and scientific areas.
•
Managed departmental web pages.
•
JIANGSU TITANIUM INC., Nanjing, P.R.China 1995 - 1996
Chemical engineer
• Developed commercial Ti coating products.
• Represented the company in public relation affairs, organized meetings and communicated with customers
and government officials.
NANO-TECHNOLOGY NATIONAL LAB OF P.R. CHINA, Nanjing, PR.China 1993 - 1995
Research Associates
• Prepared nano-sized particles using emulsions. Determined morphology of the emulsion. Eu2O3 nano-
particles with a size of 20nm were prepared by micro-encapsulation.
