EMPLOYMENT

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Dec. 2015 – Present

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

• Implement bioorthogonal noncanonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) in drosophila motor neurons using click chemistry for labeling newly synthesized proteins at Dr. Catherine Collins’s lab. Proteins collected from drosophila are analyzed using LC-MS/MS in collaboration with Proteomics Resource Facility (PRF) in the Department of Pathology. This work helps to dissect the cellular mechanisms of injury response and regeneration in neurons and also produces pilot results for a NIH R21 grant.

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Oct. 2015 - Nov. 2015

MEMs HPLC application consultancy

Literature study of state-of-art HPLC application for volatile organic compounds detection at Dr. Yogesh Gianchandani’s group. The results have been applied to assist new generation HPLC system development which can help to alleviate allergy by detecting various allergens existence.

Graduate Student Research Assistant Sep. 2011 – Jun. 2015

Advisors: Dr. James Baker (Director of Michigan Nanotechnology Institute for Medicine and Biological Sciences)

Dr. Ted Norris (Director of the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science)

Synthesized dendrimer nanoparticles for tumor-specific MRI contrast reagent and targeted drug delivery platforms. After synthesis the dendrimer was analytically characterized using HPLC, NMR, mass-spec, and UV-Vis; in vitro tests included macrophage cellular uptake using flow cytometry, surface Plasmon resonance (SPR), and confocal microscopy. The synthetic work of the dendrimer has been published.

Developed a new chemical approach to functionalize graphene with potential to use graphene as a biosensing platform. Diels-Alder reaction functionalized graphene sheets were characterized using XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and SEM. The project had been funded with support from the CVD graphene production company Bluestone Global Tech and the work has resulted in a manuscript submitted for publication.

Designed microfluidic device using Solidwork for protein immunoblots that improves protein detection efficiency and reduces cost. The device was fabricated using lithography and etching techniques in cleanroom environment and the results have been published. The work has also been patented and tech transferred to the life science company Millipore.

Conducted electrocardiography (ECG) data analysis using Python and Matlab to classify atrial fibrillation for arrhythmia prediction. The results are being applied to research conducted at Center for Arrhythmia Research at UM medical school.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited, Hsinchu, Taiwan July 2008 - Aug. 2009

Process Integration Engineer

Integrated IC chip manufacturing processes (lithography, etching, deposition, implant) and tested wafer chip quality using resistance measurement. Responsible for UL audit for factory’s capability and risk management. In charge of supplying cell phone IC chips for Motorola.

Nanofactory Instrument AB, Gothenburg, Sweden Sep. 2007 - May 2008

Diploma Worker

Optimized parallel plates capacitive sensors by modeling tunable MEMS capacitor using COMSOL Multiphysics 3.4. The work was applied for next generation nanoindentor product design and was presented at conference Eurosensors 2008.
