Experience

Dr. Dong developed new synthetic methods and designed new inorganic solid state compounds, and he has extensive experience in synthesis and characterization of inorganic solid state compounds. He also has a strong background in single crystal growth, powder metallurgy and structure-property relationships of inorganic solid state compounds. He wrote, reviewed, or commented on documents such as proposals, manuscripts, or procedures.

Dr. Dong worked as a research scientist at the University of South Florida and the University of Delaware, and as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. He has studied the synthesis and characterization of Skutterudites, Half-Heuslers, and Novel Intermetallics, and collaborated with Stanford/Clemson University, Bosch LLC, NIST, ORNL, and GM.

He also maintained laboratory instruments to ensure proper working order and troubleshoot malfunctions when needed, and directed, coordinated, or advised personnel in test procedures for analyzing components or physical properties of materials. At Cornell University he studied high pressure, high temperature processing of thermoelectric materials, and implemented a computer-controlled probe for transport property measurements between 300 K and 700 K and ternary and quaternary nitrides using metal alloy flux.
