Education:
-Ph.D., Environmental
Engineering, University of
Southern California.
-M.S., Environmental Engineering,
University of Southern California.
-B.S., Chemistry, National
Taiwan University, Taiwan.
Research Interests:
My research
interests are focused on studying
the chemical reactions that
occur at the solid-liquid
interface. Reaction processes
at the solid-liquid interface,
such as sorption, inhibition,
precipitation/dissolution,
and oxidation/reduction are
essential to oilfield chemistry
and environmental chemistry
of natural systems. The aim
of my research is to develop
a fundamental understanding
of reaction mechanisms underlying
the molecular behavior at
the solid-liquid interface
which will provide insights
for future technological innovation.
