    BioAs a research scientist at Stanford University, I am passionate about advancing the field of organic electronics and solar energy conversion. I have over 15 years of experience in designing, synthesizing, and applying novel organic materials for various applications, such as thin-film transistors, solar cells, spintronics, fluorescence imaging, and molecular machines. I work to develop high-performance organic materials for solution printable solar cells and wearable electronics. I leverage my expertise in supramolecular chemistry, thin-film deposition, and device characterization to optimize the donor-acceptor interfaces and bulk morphology of organic photovoltaic materials. My work contributes to the development of flexible and lightweight solar cells that can provide a sustainable and versatile solution for the modern military and civilian needs.

    I oversee the operation and management of Chemistry department laboratory teaching facilities. I also oversee and administer health and safety programs and ensure safety compliance.

    As instructor, I teach CHEM 100: Chemical Laboratory and Safety Skills. This is a short in-lab course that is only held in the second week of the Autumn quarter. It provides training in basic chemical laboratory procedures and chemical safety to fulfill the safety training requirement for CHEM 121 and more advanced laboratory courses. The following topics are covered: Reading and Understanding Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Exploring Hazards and Risks, Waste Management, Basic Purification (TLC, Extraction, Filtration, etc.) and Analysis Techniques. In spring 2026 I will teach CHEM 121: Understanding the Natural and Unnatural World through Chemistry.
