RESEARCH INTERESTS
A postdoctoral position that combines advanced X-ray technology with other biophysical techniques to enable a understand of the nanoscale structure of complex materials. EDUCATION
PhD, Electrical Engineering, Northeastern University, 08/2015 Advisor: Prof. Lee Makowksi
Thesis Title: Scanning X-ray microdiffraction studies of the molecular architecture of Tissues M.S., Electrical and Electronics Engineering, East China JiaoTong University, 01/2011 B.S., Electrical Engineering, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 07/2007 ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant,
Northeastern University, Boston 2011-2015
Using scanning Micro X-ray Diffraction a new synchrotron technology to study structural variation at micron level. Developing program to process the rich data produced by microdiffraction. For example, I am working on automatic eliminating the artifact of diffraction patterns, solving the molecular structure by diffraction patterns and identifying the structural variation within Alzheimer’s Tissues. These studies will have significant impact on our understanding of the role of amyloid strains on the initiation and propagation of AD. They will provide insights into the relative roles of nucleation and dissemination in the spread of amyloid deposits during disease progression. These insights will be directly relevant to the design of therapies for slowing, halting or reversing the inexorable progression of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease. Postdoctoral Research Associate,
Northeastern University, Boston 2015-current
Continuing research on scanning x-ray microdiffraction, managing lab and help supervising fresh phd student.

EXPRERIENCE WITH SYNCHROTRON RAIDATION
I have now been collecting the scanning microdiffraction data and X-ray Fluorescence Data for 4 years( 6 visits to 23ID-B and 1 visit to 2ID-E). Dr. Makowski(My Supervisor) has been using synchrotron source for the study of macromolecular complexes for nearly 30 years. Here are the latest involved experiments:
1. Title: XFM of brain tissue from an Alzheimer's Mismatch Case; GUP-43831; April, 2015; Beamline 2-ID-E of APS at Argonne National Labortary; PI: Lee Makowski
2. Title: Scanning nanoscale diffraction of human brain sections with the nanoprobe GUP-41527; April, 2014; Beamline 23-ID-B-GM/CA of APS at Argonne National Labortary; PI: Lee Makowski
3. Title: Scanning microdiffraction of human brain sections; GUP-39306; August, 2014; Beamline 23-ID-B-GM/CA of APS at Argonne National Labortary; PI: Lee Makowski
