Biography

In the past and as a member of the Lanza Research Group (Soochow University) I undertook studies on the use of 2-D materials for microelectronics applications such as RRAM, FET or photodetectors as well as the study of the particulates present in polluted atmospheres.  My PhD studies in the Electrospray Laboratory (University of California Irvine) focused on the development of colloid thrusters and the effects of electrospray bombardment on the surface and structure of semiconductors.   In the past and as a member of the Lanza Research Group (Soochow University) I undertook studies on the use of 2-D materials for microelectronics applications such as RRAM, FET or photodetectors as well as the study of the particulates present in polluted atmospheres.  My PhD studies in the Electrospray Laboratory (University of California Irvine) focused on the development of colloid thrusters and the effects of electrospray bombardment on the surface and structure of semiconductors.  

Research Interest

My research focuses on the fabrication of arrays of electrospray sources for satellite propulsion (colloid thrusters). The research combines MEMS development, experimentation of the thruster array and physical modeling to optimize the performance and geometry of the thrusters.
