Prof. Pei Yuin Keng Ph.D.

Prof. Keng obtained her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at the University of Arizona, Tucson under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Pyun. Upon obtaining her Ph.D degree in 2010, she was awarded the UCLA Scholars in Oncologic Molecule Imaging (SOMI) to pursue her postdoctoral training under the guidance of Prof. R. Michael van Dam. From 2011-2013, Dr. Keng was appointed as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, University of California Los Angeles where she developed microfluidic devices and radiochemical methods for on-demand production of diverse radiotracers.    Dr. Keng started her academic career again at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National Tsing Hua University in 2019, in which her research program focuses on developing boron-based nanomaterials for catalysis and biomedical applications.  Her research group has extensive experience in the preparation, functionalization, and characterization of boron nanomaterials.  Her research laboratory is currently also active in academia-industry projects in developing surface functionalization chemistry and engineering interface methodology for microelectronic devices.
