Research Experiences

I have 9 years of Postdoctoral research experience (Florida State University 2 years; University of Montreal 3 years; Nanotechnology Research Institute 2 years and TIT 1.5 years). I have attracted four competitive research grants from ExxonMobil, Idemitsu Kosan Co, Sun Allomer and JITA in my career as an investigator. I have published 1 book chapter, 40 international journal papers, and 30 international conference proceedings. All the journals are SCOPUS indexed and some have high impact ratings, such as Macromolecules (IF 6) and Polymer (IF 4).
