Research Experience

During my Ph.D., I've developed a unique skillset of electrochemistry, in situ spectroscopy and computational chemistry. Utilizing these methodologies, I worked on understanding the mechanism of COâ‚‚/CO electroreduction and engineering the electrochemical interface to improve its performance. I also discovered serendipitously a unique light alkane activation system that operates at room temperature and ambient pressure.

As a Post-Doc at Caltech, I established a new research area on investigating the potential-dependent protein conformations using cryogenic electron microscopy, extending the electrochemical methods to microbial systems.
