RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, VCU, RICHMOND, VA, AUGUST 2014 TO MAY 2020
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT
• Designed and developed a new method to functionalize the silicon wafer with COOH groups, utilizing the sol-gel chemistry of silane.
• Established a Programmed Controlled-Rate Infusion (P-CRI) method to fabricate multicomponent synthetic-chemical gradients (aligned and opposed) using NH2 and COOH sol.
• Determined the elemental composition and surface charge of chemical gradients by XPS and electrokinetic measurements (Zeta potential) respectively.
• Investigated the pH-tunability of physicochemical properties (e.g. wettability, surface charge) on the surface of NH2/COOH multicomponent chemical gradients.
• Created a new methodology for the ellipsometric measurement (film-thickness) of self-assembled monolayers on TMOS-coated silicon wafer.
