I am a post-doc research associate at Arizona State University with Professor Stuart Lindsay. I am a member of the Center of Single molecule biophysics and the Center for Biological Physics. I am currently in the transition from nanoelectronics to biophysics. I am actively involved in DNA sequencing and organic photovoltaic projects.

Before we moved to the new Biodesign Inistitute building, I mainly worked on molecular electronics for my PhD thesis work. In Stuart's lab, I used Conducting-AFM and STM breakjunction techniques to measure the conductance of single molecule. We demonstrated that the molecule conductance could be gated by light, chemical and electrochemical methods. I have also worked extensively with Professor Nongjian Tao in electrical engineering department on making nanometer-spaced electrodes. Molecule bridged nano-devices were first studied in vacuum and at low temperature. Our interest then moved on to do electrochemical gating of such nanometer-scale devices at room temperature and in electrolyte.

Research interests:

1. Moleculear/nano Electronics: Single molecule conductance measurement, properties characterization of new nano objects(nano wire, tube, Q-dots)

2. Biophysics: Single molecule measurement

3. Nanofabrication with application in biology, nanobiotechnology, nano-bio sensors

4. Scanning Probe Microscopy
