9/96 to 11/04 Senior Scientist/Technical leader
Developed a line of pressure-activated electrically conductive rubber products that have broad applications in sensors, switches and electrical equipment.
Developed a line of electrically conductive rubber products that are used for flexible contacts, electromagnetic interference shielding and antistatic materials.
Discovered and patented unique properties of the above products: such as their ability to carry high current and to act as current limiting devices.
Drafted patents, wrote grant proposals & gave numerous technical presentations.
Patented a novel pressure switch/sensor for automotive wireless tire pressure monitoring systems that is very cost effective and easy to manufacture.
Led the development of an in house chemical process for manufacturing one of the main components of the patented pressure switch/sensor.
Hands-on experience with piezoresistive materials and piezoelectric devices.
Extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with silica, carbon black and metallic fillers for polymeric materials.
Extensive interdisciplinary knowledge and hands-on experience in the areas of polymer processing, ASTM standards, application of plastics for electronics, and using advanced CAD and CAM software in product design and manufacturing.
8/91-8/96 Graduate teaching assistant
Taught General Chemistry and Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry.
Instructed lab courses and gave weekly tutoring sessions.
Voluntarily provided extra help to students in need.
Graduate research assistant
Pioneered catalysis studies in an academic research group. Polymer-supported reagents which catalyzed organic reactions were synthesized and characterized. Reaction rates and yields were significantly improved and product isolation techniques were greatly simplified.
In a two month period, I successfully developed a cost effective way to synthesize and isolate a novel biocidal monomer, which demonstrated superior qualities as a disinfectant in military applications. A California University research group had worked on the same task for three years without any success.
Synthesized cation and anion exchange resins in macroporous and gel forms. Theses polymers were used to selectively recognize and bind targeted compounds or ions in a highly selective purification process.
Introduced a safe elemental analysis method to my research group. This new method is more efficient and accurate than previous methods.
Studied poly(styrene-sulfonate) and poly(ethylene-oxide) solutions by dynamic light scattering.
Used NMR, FTIR, GC, GC Mass spec, GPC, TGA, DSC and light scattering techniques to analyze and characterize both monomers and polymers.
8/88-4/91 Project Manager
Managed quality control process in the Production Department.
Performed literature research and translation in an R&D Department.
Performed English interpretation for company CEO’s during export sales investment and joint venture negotiations.
Graduate student merit award for outstanding academic and research achievement, 1993
Undergraduate student merit award for outstanding academic achievement every semester.
Selected by faculty members as an excellent exemplary undergraduate student every semester.
First or second prizewinner of campus wide undergraduate Chemistry, Math, Physics and English competitions.
Annual National Starch and Chemical Research Conference, March 2006
National American Chemical Society Meeting, New Orleans, Spring 1996
Joint Southeast-Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Nov. 1995
National American Physical Society Meeting, March 1993
