  I am teaching General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry along with their laboratory courses. I lead the undergraduate students to perform scientific research. Our research including the following aspects. • Utilize FTIR NMR and theoretical calculation to study intermolecular forces, specifically hydrogen or halogen bonding. • Utilize Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to study the thermodynamics in the binding between fluoroquinolone and DNA. • Utilize Surface Enhanced Raman spectroscopy to study the mechanism the binding between fluoroquinolone and DNA. • Utilize GC-MS and HPLC to study the purification of protein, peptide, and their thermal stability. • Rich hands on experience in NMR titration, 2D and 3D NMR techniques.

  • Utilized the velocity-map imaging technique to study the photodissociation of small molecules in the gas phase. • Generated Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) light by using the four-wave mixing technique. Investigate the internal energy dependence of the single-photon ionization efficiency of some small radicals and atoms produced by the photodissociation. • Utilized the velocity-map imaging technique to study the photodissociation of small molecules in the gas phase. • Generated Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) light by using the four-wave mixing technique.
