CV in PDf (updated June 2008, 35 KB)

I'm Physics Department graduate student at the UC Berkeley. I entered UC Berkeley Fall 2001. Being interested in the molecular level condensed matter physics, especially in study of atomic and molecular interactions on the metalic surfaces using STM, I joined Dr. Salmeron's group summer 2003.

I'm currently working with Evgeny Fomin. Now we are studying isotope effect of the diffusion of H2O(D2O) monomers and dimers on the Pd(111) surface. After this I will start my project. My Thesis Research will be about the interaction between water and other molecules and atoms which attract or repel water.(molecules and atoms of interest are alkali halide ion , halogen atom, hydrocarbon molecules, etc.) The goal of the study is understanding mechanism of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity at the molecular level and learn organization and orientation of water molecules around the other species. The instrument We are using is variable temperature UHV Low Temperature STM designed by Claude Chapelier and constructed by Jim Dunphy, Stefan Behler and Mark Rose.

My departmental advisor is Professor Yuen-Ron Shen, Physics Department UC Berkeley Research advisor is Dr. Miquel Salmeron, MSD LBL.
