About me:      
          I
received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Chemistry in Case Western
Reserve University in 2005, and then spent near 6 years in Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley. In 2011, I joined
University of Missouri - Kansas City, Chemistry Department as an Assistant
Professor.
My research interests include materials development and applications.
         Materials
development includes nanomaterials synthesis, characterization, and
modifications. Applications include energy and environmental: photocatalytic
reactions, photocatalytic hydrogen generation, electrochemical hydrogen
generation catalysts, electrolyzers, solar cells, lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries, and clean building technologies. Applications also include
biomedical, and future cancer detection technologies.
