ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

1/2010-9/2/2010

. Investigated alcohol aerobic oxidation, searching for the best catalyst

with low loading, wide substrate scope, and high selectivity. Carried

out experiments synthesizing catalysts as well as screening various

catalyst systems for functional alcohols using air or pure O2.

Research Assistant (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

9/2007-12/2009

. Computer aided rational design of cathode catalysts for fuel cells with

density functional theory. Comprehensive research on oxygen reduction

reaction on metallic surface catalysts. Collaborated with experimental

groups, discovered a series of novel transition metal alloy catalysts

for fuel cells, predicted their energy efficiency and reaction

activity, verified the reaction mechanisms behind the experimental

observations, pointed out the critical properties of potential

catalysts.

Part Time MBA program (in progress)
