Biography

Currently, I am a Vice President, Engineered Materials for Environmental Application (EMEA), of R&D at InnoSense LLC, Torrance, California, USA, and working at InnoSense since August 2005. I received my PhD degree in physical-organic chemistry under supervision of Professor Osamu Ito from Tohoku University in Japan, with a particular focus on free radical reactions and photochemical reactions of organic materials. Thereafter, I joined the Professor Samson Jenekhe’s group in Chemical Engineering Department, the University of Washington (UW), Seattle, WA, as a postdoctoral research associate. During my time at UW, I designed and developed (i) new photoactive and electroactive conjugated oligomers, dendrimers and polymers having robust high-temperature, high-electron-affinity, high-photoluminescence-efficiency and high electron transport (n-type) properties, (ii) nanoscale phase-separation in donor-acceptor binary polymer-blend systems and highly efficient tunable multicolor light-emitting-diodes, and (iii) robust and intrinsically fluorescent self-assembled aggregates and microspheres of conjugated homopolymers. I also developed layered-nanostructure donor/acceptor polymer/polymer systems, and demonstrated efficient photoinduced charge transfer/separation and photovoltaic (solar) cells. I also worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Pharmacology, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), where I developed template-free and site-specific conducting polymer-based nanomaterials, and fabricated micro electronic sensor devices to detect chemical and biological compounds. I authored and co-authored over 70 peer reviewed research articles, and one ACS book chapter. I hold nine granted U.S. patents including one European patent. I presented my research findings at over 50 national and international conferences and meetings.
