Evaluated efficacy and functionality of remineralized dentin; Characterization of Human tooth-ligament-bone• Investigated and evaluated advanced techniques to remineralize as well as restore biological and mechanical functionality of affected dentin• Operated the high-resolution, synchrotron UltraXRM-S x-ray unit (Xradia Inc.) with Zernike phase contrast rings to analyze the distribution of mineral and collagen within 1 µm ultramicrotomed tooth-bone sections mounted on silicone nitride membranes • Examined the role of glycosaminoglycans within the tissue types of extracted molars via enzyme digestion, hydrated AFM contact scans (Nanoscope III, Multimode; DI-Veeco Instruments Inc.) and AFM-based nanoindentation (Triboscope, Hysitron Incorporated) with a closed-looped piezo scanner (nPoint Inc.)• Constructed wet cell chambers to house 150 µm thick dentin samples to compute and compare Hounsfield units of rematerialized dentin through the use of Micro XCT (Xradia Inc.) • Explored the intricacies of the soft-hard tissue interfaces within the human periodontium via polarized light microscopy coupled with tissue staining (H&E, Masson’s trichrome, picrosirius red), AFM-based techniques and microhardness testing with a Knoop diamond indenter (Buehler Ltd.)

Tainan, Taiwan, Tw

Investigated arresting periodontitis through specific targeting and destruction of Porphyromonas gingivalis• Proposed a non-invasive, non-toxic method to specifically target, destroy, and prevent future growth of P. Gingivalis via triangular silver nanoparticles conjugated to iron-free heme molecules• Established P. Gingivalis cell line and protocol for silver nanoparticle fabrication• Proved efficacy, feasibility, and lower effective dose of the novel compound in treating anaerobic periodontal pathogens

San Francisco, Ca, Us

Characterized ALS progression via Diffusion tensor MRI• Established a methodology that detected, analyzed and reconstructed white matter tracts within the human brain through signal analysis to characterize disease onset and progression; the technique was more successful in detailing brain degeneration than current diagnostic methods

Santa Barbara, Ca, Us

Nanotube construction with DNA• Fabricated hollow, cylindrical DNA nanotubes and varying DNA motifs• Developed protocols, statistical equations to characterize structural and chemical properties through fluorescent microscopy, unique enzyme-DNA motif interactions, and gel electrophoresis
