Education
PhD Candidate Chemical Engineering. University of Washington, Seattle (2004 - present)
  Advisor:  Dr. John C. Berg        Expected graduation:  June 2010  
B.S. Chemical Engineering. University of California, Berkeley (2003)

Industrial Experience
Summer Research Associate Hewlett-Packard Laboratory (Summer 2008)
  Information Surface Group.  Palo Alto, CA
  Formulate and characterize apolar-liquid-based colloidal "electronic ink"

Research Interest
     Under the guidance of Dr. John Berg, my graduate research spans a wide range of colloids, interfaces, and sol-gel science with a particular focus on manipulating and understanding the effect of particle state of aggregation. The research can be divided into three topics. For more detail on each topic, visit the Research page.
     1.  Effect of Reinforcing Particle State of Aggregation on Properties of Sol-Gel Composite
     2.  Spontaneous Repeptization of Colloidal Dispersion
     3.  Charging of Colloids in Apolar Media

Career Interest
     I am currently seeking an industrial research and development position in areas related to interfaces, colloids, and sol-gel science starting after the completion of my docterate degree expected to be in June 2010.  For my resume and CV, please visit the Resume/CV page.
