Relevant Research Experience
Clarkson University
Potsdam, NY
Electrochemical properties of semi-solid electrolyte for DSSCs and
lithium batteries. 2010- 2011
. Systematically conducted experimental research on synthesis, structural,
electrical, thermal and conduction properties of imidazolium-based
iodide, imidazolium-based Tf2N PEGylated and fluoroalkyl electrolytes.
Chemical structural analyzed by NMR, FT-IR, electrochemical and thermal
properties studied by chemical electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,
cone and plate viscometer, DSC and so on.
. Utilized imidazolium-based Tf2N PEGylated electrolyte as the alternative
of conventional lithium batteries media.
Ionic polymer grafted on latex particle. (Ph.D.)
2011- present
. Systematically conducted experimental research on synthesis
monodispersed micron size latex particle, and modified the nitrile and
amine group with amphiprotic molecules for anti-fouling research.
. Studied the enhanced fouling repellent properties of the latexes with
modified nitrile and amine group. Correlation between the charge,
structure, and the functional groups coverage with the fouling prevent
properties was studied.
. Hands-on planning, optimizing and scaling up experiments through
statistical design of experiments.

. Succeed in designing and planning experiments in synthesis of block
copolymers. Modified the carboxylic acid and amines contained polymer
with amphiprotic molecules for non-specific protein adsorption surface
application.
. Conducted surface energy analysis from contact angle measurement for
analyzing surface composition, polymer structure, microphase separation
and their relationship with fouling repellent properties.
. Utilized TEM to evaluate the surface microphase separation, fluorescence
microscopy was used to characterize surface protein adsorption.
. Conduct product testing and performance analysis of polymers, such as
DSC, GPC, TGA and DMA.
