Educational Background and Work Experience
| 2007 | M.S. Computer Science | Northwestern University, Evanston, IL |
| 1997 | Ph. D. Materials Science | Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shengyang, PR China |
| 1994 | M.S. Materials Science | Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shengyang, PR China |

I'm currently working as the manager of the TEM and Specimen Preparation Facility in the NUANCE Center at Northwestern University. I am also the chief designer and programmer of the Facility Online Manager (FOM) system. The FOM system installed at Northwestern University is managing more than 20 Shared Facilities and Research Laboratories across the NU campus.
Research Projects
My research work is mainly related to the Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM) - all kinds of materials, from metals to semiconductors, from inorganic to organic materials. I am also actively working on computer programming and web application developments. I welcome any collaborations on TEM applications and/or computer programming.
