  Research Associate

  (Organic Chemistry) Solely developed, identified novel enantioselective chemical sensor, and further determined the solute configuration and the enantiomeric composition of the chiral analyte with the designed enantioselective sensor via circular dichroism spectroscopy. Studied physical principles of NMR in advanced level. Knowledgeable in 2D NMR. Identified complex compounds including transition metals. Written weekly reports, given monthly presentation updates about the ongoing project. Thesis ‘’Circular dichroism sensing of chiral compounds with a meso (salen) cobalt complex’’ shown as one of the project for National Science Foundation(NSF) grant applications.
