QUALIFICATION
5 years of experience in elemental analysis using ICP-MS and speciation using HPLC
•
3 years of experience in Environmental Analysis Laboratory; familiar with SOP writing and editing
•
3 years of experience in statistical data analysis, data visualization and experimental design

EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant in Analytical Chemistry, University of Massachusetts Amherst Aug. 08 – Present
Developed a novel method for trace arsenic detection in natural water samples with low LOD (limit of
•
detection); resolved the problem of interferences from high concentrations of ions using HG (hydride
generation), ICP-MS and AFS.
Originally designed and performed experiments for investigation of homogeneity of As distribution in
•
rice grains; solved the commonly encountered problem associated with poor accuracy of As detection in
rice.
Significantly decreased LOD of trace As speciation in rice by post-column concentration of HPLC eluent
•
using a self-designed column.
Reduced operating cost of AFS by 50% through cooperation with the manufacture company (P. S.
•
Analytical).
Coordinated with Environmental Analysis Laboratory to provide environmental sample analysis to clients;
•
In charge of reporting results with presentation interpretation in routine, editing standard operating
procedure (SOP), developing easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet model for data analysis and training
technicians on experiment procedures and data analysis.
Teaching Assistant in Analytical Chemistry, University of Massachusetts Amherst Aug. 08 – Present
Led independent research groups of undergraduate students working on Arsenic Project for continuously
•
4 years.
Tutored over 150 undergraduate students on entry-level general chemistry lab.
•
Tutored about 40 undergraduate students on advanced analytical chemistry lab.
•
Research Assistant in Statistics, University of Massachusetts Amherst Aug. 11 – Present
Accomplished an interdisciplinary project titled “Machine Learning Model for Classification of
•
Nanosurface Image” using data mining methods and data visualization for image analysis using various R
packages.
Examined the arsenic species distribution in 50 well water samples using experimental design, hypothesis
•
testing, model building to test the relations between the existence of arsenic species and geochemical
variables by R and SAS.
Performed time series analysis to investigate and forecast the seasonal effect and overall trend of the
•
concentration of total phosphorus in natural water by R.
Research Assistant in Chemistry Biology, Peking University, China Sep. 04 – Jul. 07
•
Investigated the underlying mechanisms involving realgar induced promelocytic leukemia cell apoptosis
and differentiation.
•
Cooperated with National Center of Nanoscience and Technology, originally prepared realgar
nano-particle (RNP) suspension with higher efficiency and narrower size distribution compared to
previous works.
Lab Manager, Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Chemistry, China Jul. 07 – Jul. 08
•
Ensured that all staff members comply with all laboratory rules, regulation and safety policies; Coordinated
activities throughout the laboratory.
•
Served as the primary point of contact for the lab with outside organizations/individuals.
