* Designed, synthesized and scaled up a wide range of advanced solid-state materials for fuel cell, battery and automotive emission control. * Developed comprehensive post mortem analysis and structural characterization approaches that lead to improved understanding of composition-structure-function relationship and degradation mechanism.* Planed and coordinated production campaign for a wide range of materials. Assisted manufacturing team in improving process robustness, investigating process excursions and setting up specifications for raw materials and final product.* Authored or co-authored 8 patents/patent applications covering newly discovered compositions and process. Actively participated in IP activities including patent watch, freedom-to-operate, et al.

* Synthesized and characterized a broad range of inorganic proton conducting materials (perovskite oxides, NH4PO3/silica composite, et al).* Explored a wide range of thin film process techniques (spin-coating, dip-coating, spray-coating, casting, et al) for preparation of composite membrane (inorganic proton conductor coated on metal hydride foil) that enabled fuel cell operation in temperature regime of 200-350C with fuels containing up to 5% CO.* Developed high throughput screening methods that could accurately evaluate catalytic materials 5+ times faster than traditional method.

University Park, Pa, Us

* Evaluated different routes for synthesis of water gas shift (WGS) catalysts (Cu-ZnO-Al2O3, noble metals-metal oxides, et al); down-selected for preparation of high density WGS catalyst library.* Designed and synthesized a series of novel Pt alloy electrocatalysts that were capable of catalyzing glucose electro-oxidation at substantially more negative potentials than pure platinum catalysts.* Fabricated first-ever non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor that achieved same level of selectivity towards common interfering agents as enzyme-based glucose sensor.* Invented a split-pool method for synthesis of solid-state material combinatorial libraries.

Charlotte, North Carolina, Us

* Studied kinetics and mechanism of zeolite catalyzed benzene-diethylbenzene transalkylation reaction in high-pressure microreactor. Singled out the dominant factor for catalyst deactivation.

* Designed and synthesized highly stable heterogeneous catalytic materials through sol-gel encapsulation. * Studied homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed alkene oxidation reaction.

Changchun, Jilin, Cn

* Fabricated and characterized nanostructured thin films with thickness between 1 nm and 100 nm via layer-by-layer assembly of nanoparticles/polymer/enzyme possessing pre-planned internal architecture on a wide range of substrates.* Prepared and tested a wide range of electrochemical sensors based on thin film technology for detection of agents of environmental, biological and industrial importance, such as glucose, iodine ion, hydrogen peroxide, et al.* Developed novel synthetic routes to tailor structure and properties of composite inorganic nanoparticles (TiO2/PbS, ZnS:Ag, et al).* Investigated photovoltaic and photoluminescence properties of thin films containing composite nanoparticles.
