• Hold TA positions for 17 quarters. Instructed over 500 students in organic and general chemistry laboratory. Also TA physical organic chemistry and structural / reactivity in organic chemistry courses in UCSB.• Roche Bioscience Distinguished Teaching Fellowship. (2015-2016)

• Designed and built a micro-flow reactor for efficient cathodic carbon-carbon coupling reactions and reduced waste.• Designed, synthesized and characterization of a new class of electro-oxidative catalyst based on triarylimidazole.• Discovered, studied and characterized the dual catalytic feature of phenanthroimidazole catalysts which behaved as oxidative catalyst under electrochemistry and reductive catalyst under photochemistry.• Characterized and studied water and oxygen stable Lewis acid-TEMPO complexes (organometallic).• Mentored five undergraduate and collaborated with six visiting scholars on scientific research (Germany & China).
