RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Confidential, Princeton, NJ

Responsibilities:

  • Develop nanostructured optical resonance device as ultra sensitive biosensor
  • Developed nanostructured optical resonator that works as a biosensor. The sensor can enhance fluorescence signal intensity from target molecules for thousands of times, significantly improves the sensor sensitivity for over 1000 times compared to existing commercial sensors.
  • Design of optical resonator using finite - difference time-domain ( Confidential ) method and simulator.
  • Nanofabrication of the optical resonator using nanoimprint lithography, reactive ion etching, e-beam deposition and other thin-film processes.
  • Characterization of sensor performance using Raman spectrometer and immunoassays
