I have 9 years of postdoctoral research experience (Florida State University, 2 years; University of Montreal, 3 years; Nanotechnology Research Institute, 2 years; and Tokyo Institute of Technology, 1.5 years). I have secured four competitive research grants from ExxonMobil, Idemitsu Kosan Co., Sun Allomer, and JITA during my career as an investigator. I have published 1 book chapter, 56 international journal papers, and 30 international conference proceedings.
