I worked with the PhD students in Particle Technology Laboratory to test various filter material e.g. zeolite, Tenax, aluminium oxide, etc. in the enhancement of the selectivity of breath sensors. It is crucial to have a highly selective breath sensor, since the composition of human breath is very complicated, and only certain compounds, such as hydrogen, acetone, isoprene, contain the valuable information for certain disease or state activity level. The beauty of these filter material lies in that they are simple to design, yet function very effectively in filtering out the unwanted compounds without hindering the sensor performance. After working on the project, I gained both significant knowledge and interest in breath sensor design and application. I am now further working on similar topic as the semester project of my MSc program. Show less

To improve the etching selectivity for the next-generation finFET, I used experimental design to determine the significant influencing factors and developed a recipe that drastically enhanced the selectivity by 5 times compared with the baseline.

I produced photocatalyst for indoor VOCs abatement via flame spray pyrolysis, and was responsible for the sample characterization and catalytic assessment. This project was in collaboration with Corning R&D Center (Shanghai) for next generation's glass products.
