Prof. Keng received her bachelor degree in Chemistry at Lewis Clark State College, USA and later pursued her Ph.D degree at the University of Arizona, Tucson. Upon obtaining her Ph.D in Chemistry, she continued with her postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). After a year of postdoctoral work in microfluidics and radiochemistry, Prof. Keng was then promoted as a tenured track assistant professor in the same department in UCLA. During her two years of independent research at UCLA, she received several research grants from the National Health Institute and Department of Energy for the developing microfluidic radiosynthesizer, published several impactful papers in the field microfluidics and molecular imaging. She then left UCLA and academia due to family reasons and joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NTHU in 2019. Her current research group focused on developing boron-based nanostructures for cancer therapy and environmental remediation.
