Promote equity, inclusion, and diversity through
MENTORSHIP, TEACHING, and SERVICE
I have mentored over 20 undergraduates and graduate students, and 2 high school students from diverse culture and backgrounds. Many of them received multiple authorships on top journals and won prestigious scholarships, including the Goldwater Scholarship and NSF GRFP Fellowship. After receiving degrees, most of my undergraduate mentees have successfully entered top graduate programs (e.g. Stanford, Berkeley, UCSD, UCLA, Northwestern) to continue their academic careers.

Volunteer lecturer for 5th and 6th graders of
Ocean Discovery Institute. We use ocean science to empower young people from underserved urban communities to transform their lives, their community, and our world as science and conservation leaders. Our programs are provided at no cost to our students. Our students believe that a scientist is someone they can be!

Teaching assistant of
CHEM 240 Electrochemistry, UCSD. Fundamentals of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering. Structure of the double layer, cell potential and electrochemical thermodynamics, charge transfer kinetics, electrochemical transport phenomena, and introduction to colloidal chemistry. Applications such as biosensors, corrosion prevention, electroplating, reactor design, batteries and fuel cells. |

Teaching assistant of
NANO 244 Nanomachines and Nanorobots, UCSD. Nanomachines represent one of the most fascinating topics in nanotechnology. Such tiny machines provide diverse opportunities ranging from targeted delivery of drug payloads to environmental remediation. The goal of this graduate-level class is to discuss the basic principles, operation and applications of different types of small-scale machines, from molecular (artificial and natural machines) to larger microscale machines. A class towards the Fantastic Voyage. |

Teaching assistant of
Semiconductor Processing Lab School of Microelectronics, Fudan University The aim of the class is to bring undergrads with hand-on experiences of all semiconductor processing procedures in cleanroom, and eventually to enable them the capacity of building a semiconductor transistor by their own.Eight laboratory classes were included: oxidation, photolithography, thermal processing, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, doping, etching, and electrical testing. |
