RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

Research assistant, University of Minnesota 2000-present

• Designed, synthesized and characterized a series of novel acid and thermal stable silica-based HPLC stationary phases including RPLC phases and ion exchangers by orthogonal surface polymerization.
• Applied the acid stable hyper-crosslinked RPLC phases on basic drugs separations at low pHs to ensure long term reproducibility and high efficiency under LC-MS friendly conditions
• Applied hydrophobic cation exchanger in the separation of highly hydrophilic cations such as catecholamines to provide high resolution and compatibility to LC-MS
• Used hyper-crosslinked PEI phases in anion separations and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) for sugar, nucleoside and nucleotide separations
• Developed fast separations on acid and thermal stable hyper-crosslinked phases at elevated temperatures and flow rates
