Overview

My mentorship experience as a teaching assistant and an undergraduate research mentor has taught me to be encouraging, understanding, and inspiring to foster student's ingenuity, self-confidence, and independence. I value a person as a whole, advocate teamwork spirit, make an effort to develop trust and friendship with my mentees/students to create a professional and friendly environment. All students, including myself, have much to learn by pushing beyond our comfort zones as well as listening to experts and scientists.

Entrepreneurial

Miniaturized lab box

This is an idea aiming to design a miniaturized reactor/hood as an alternative for conventional lab hoods. The promise of this invention is that you will be able to conduct lab-scale chemical reactions in a box on a table instead of bulky hoods in a large lab space. If successful, the miniaturized package can be a universal reactor for most of the chemical synthesis and will substantially decrease the cost of chemistry lab development as well as materials synthesis in universities, companies, and schools.
