- An research was conducted into various categories of label-free biosensors within microfluidics systems, with the objective of enhancing the functionality of these systems through optimization.
- The utilization of methodologies founded upon electrochemical tenets, such as FICP (Faraday Ion Concentration Polarization), entails the direction of ions through an electric current, leading to their accumulation or depletion at the electrode surface. This process culminates in the concentration of targets within the solution, thereby facilitating the detection of analyteswithin the solution, thereby facilitating the detection of
- The amplification of electrochemical signals was achieved by synthesizing detector probes of gold nanoparticles conjugated with antibodies. The negative electrostatic charges on the surface of the gold nanoparticles were utilized to enhance the conductivity of the area to be measured.

Research
- Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Research Assistant, Purificated the potential Alzheimer's disease-related scaffold protein DISC 598., Studied the crystal structure of DISC 598 using X-ray crystallography.
- Department of Chemistry, Iowa State University, Research Assistant, Conducted research on the application of different types of labeled free biosensors in microfluidic systems., Using techniques based on electrochemical principles, such as FICP (Faradaic Ion Concentration Polarization), ions are driven by current to accumulate or deplete on the electrode surface. This process allows for the concentration of the analyte in the solution, enabling detection of the analyte at low concentrations.
