OBJECTIVE:

• Research Chemist in organic synthesis (polymer/monomer) or membrane separation.

• Analytical Chemist in characterization of small molecules or polymers.

• Chemical Engineer in gas separation process (CO2 from CH4/N2, H2 from CO2 or N2/O2) or

dehydration process.

EDUCATION:

• Doctoral candidate in Chemical & Environmental Engineering, University of Toledo (UT),

Toledo, Ohio. Expected graduate 10/2009. Advisor: Maria R. Coleman Professor.

• M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 07/2004. Advisor: Jiding LI,

Professor.

• B.S. in Chemical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 07/2001.

SKILLS /PROFESSIONCAL EXPERIENCE:

Ph. D Research Experience:

• Participated in preparation of proposal for research project entitled: “ Copolymerized Ionic Liquid

membranes for CO2 Removal from Gasified Coal” and Obtained Funding for $346,338 from Ohio

Coal Development Office (OCDO ID # AY07-08) in May 2007.

• Science project: “Synthesis of Diamino Room Temperature Ionic Liquids for Polyimide Reaction”.

NMR, Mass-Spectrometry, GC-MS and HPLC were used to verify the structure of synthesized

molecules.

• Science project: “Gas Transport in Supported Ionic Liquids Membranes”. Study on the gas

permeation/sorption properties in supported ionic liquids membranes and found the CO2 cross-

linking phenomena in highly CO2 soluble ionic liquids. Two permeation cells and three sorption

cells were built to measure the solubility and permeability properties.

• Science project: “Novel Copolymerized Ionic Liquid Based Polymeric Membranes for Removal of

CO2 from Gasified Coal”. Synthesizing new polyimide materials for gas separation membrane

which capable of Gasification process (250 C, 150Psi). A series of methods including GPC, FTIR,

DMA, TGA, INSTRON rheometer, Density column, Surface tension measurement and DSC were

used to characterization the physical chemical properties of these new materials.

• Science project: “Water Effect on Gas Permeation in Copolymerized Ionic Liquid Based Polymeric

Membranes”. Studying the water effect in affiliating CO2 reacting with amine group of the

polymeric membrane so that accelerating the CO2 permeation. A GC was used to detect the CO2

concentration in Gas mixtures in feed and permeate side. MathCAD, ChemCAD & ChemDraw

were used to design the equipment and analyze the data.

M. S. Research Experience:

• Science project: “Simulating the Sorption and Desorption of Penetrants in Dense Polymeric

membranes”. Modeling and simulating the active sorption/desorption process using Flory-

Huggins theory and linear viscoelastic theory. The model is used to calculate various

diffusions (Fickian diffusion, and non-Fickian diffusion) of ethanol in polyphthalazine

ether sulfone (PPES), and polyphthalazine ether sulfone ketone (PPESK) membranes at

293.15, 298.15, and 303.15 K. MATLAB and FORTRAN were used to do the simulation.
