RESEARCH AND TEACHING EXPERIENCE

2007-present Department of Chemistry, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania.

Research Assistant. Characterized, and measured the chemical and physical properties of substrate-adsorbate interactions on small organic molecules on metallic surfaces using 4 K STM.

2005-2007 Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow. Researched on supported metallic and bimetallic catalytic systems using UHV variable temperature STM. Emphasis on understanding the “pressure gap,” which separates the perspectives of surface science and that of industrial catalysis. Collaborated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

1998-2005 Department of Chemistry, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania.

Research Assistant. Characterized, and measured the chemical and physical properties of substrate-adsorbate interactions on small organic molecules on metallic surfaces using 4 K STM.

2003- Leiden Institute of Physics, Leiden University, Leiden, the Netherlands.

Five weeks Research Collaborator. Designed, constructed and operated a novel stack-piezo STM head capable of 100 Hz image-rate scanning, the fastest STM reported to date.

1993-1998 Department of Chemistry, Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York.

Research Assistant. Synthesized ethyltoluene and fluorine-type compounds. Studied the kinetic isotope effects of reactions such as alkoxide assisted dehydro-halogenation of halogen-substituted ethyltoluene.

Teaching Assistant. Instructor in organic and inorganic chemistry laboratories.
