Binghamton University Work Values

Daily Duties at Binghamton University:

Titanium Dioxide Nanotube based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells ● Synthesized titanium dioxide nanotube via electrochemistry approach ● Modified electrolyte to obtain desired dimensions and structures to enhanced the performance of titanium dioxide nanotubes in hybrid dye-sensitized solar cell ● Enhanced the efficiency of solar cell via various approaches (plasma surface modification, heat treatment, geometry of nanotube optimization, etc.) ● Studied and explored the organic dye adsorption process and the impact from the properties of nanomaterial ● Experimentally and theoretically investigation of the various applications of functional nanostructure materials in photovoltaic sheet and ink-jet printing technique ● Maintained the laboratory routine work and coordinate with other colleagues about chemical analysis Nanoparticle-Mediated Mass Transfer at Liquid-Vapor Interface ● Focused on surface modification of nanoparticles; grafted surface of nanoparticle with polymer functional groups (hydrophobic groups and hydrophilic groups) ● Deposited hexagonal closed-packed nanoparticle monolayer at liquid-vapor interface or solid substrates in a well-controlled environment ● Analyzed the liquid evaporation rates as a function of surface coverage, contact angle and surface properties of nanoparticles; developed theoretical models of nanoparticle-mediated evaporation

What they like about Binghamton University:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
