I studyed at Michigan Technological University (MTU), major in environmental engineering during 1997-1999. After finishing the Master, I moved from MTU to University of North Carolina (UNC-Ch) in the Summer of 1999. Since then, I have been working with Prof. Richard Kamens on oxidations of d-limonene and particle formation mechanism. I enjoyed my life in Chapel Hill very much. I just passed the PhD final defense in July. You may view the defense slide show by clicking the link below. Please e-mail and give me a comment.

Over the years, Kats and I have been traveling to many places. Please visit Kats' web site to read the stories and see our pictures.

My Master defense slides:
It is about fine and coarse particulate matter in the Great Lakes atmosphere. I used the technique called PMF for analysis. Please click here to view the slide show.

My PhD defense slides:
Title "A prdictive model for aersol formation from the atmospheric reactions of d-limonene" Click here to view the slide show.
