Biography
Obtained his bachelor of arts in chemistry at Rutgers University in New Jersey. As an undergraduate he carried out electropolymerization research under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Yacynych at Rutgers University, and in bionsensors under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Scheeline at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After a short stint at Merck & Co. in Rawah, New Jersey, he pursued graduate studies at the Ohio State University, where he obtained a M.Sc. in analytical chemistry and a Ph.D. in molecular device fabrication under the supervision of Prof. Richard McCreery.
Subsequently, he joined Prof. David Bocian at the University of California, Riverside, where he studied molecular memory devices and metal/molecule/semiconductor interfaces which eventually led to technologies commercialized by Zettacore, Inc. Subsequently, he worked as a research scientist at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN, Singapore) where he worked on integrating microfabrication techniques amenable to surface chemistry modification processes, bioimaging, and localized surface Plasmon resonance for DNA amplification. In 2012, he joined 亚洲色吧.
