个人简介
Dr. Le grew up in Waterloo, Illinois and earned his bachelor's degree in 2004 in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During that time, Dr. Le had summer internships at General Mills and at Procter and Gamble, and he did a summer of undergraduate research. However, his experiences as an undergraduate teaching assistant sparked his desire to teach as a profession and led him to stay at the University of Illinois to pursue graduate studies. In 2011, Le earned his Ph.D. with specializations in analytical chemistry and chemical education, working on projects related to nanostructured surfaces and materials for high performance optical sensing and a project investigating the conceptual changes experienced by chemistry students as they progress through their formal coursework.
At Florida Southern College, Dr. Le serves as co-coordinator of the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program and supervises students interested in doing internships in chemistry. He is also the Secretary of the Florida Local Section of the American Chemical Society.
Ph.D., Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Education, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
B.S., Chemical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
研究领域
Dr. Le’s research interests focus on three major areas:
Development of inexpensive sensors for environmental analyses using paper-based microfluidic devices
Characterization of the migration of flavor compounds and chemical contaminants in food during storage, preparation, and cooking
Development of inexpensive instrumentation for the instructional laboratory using open-source microcontrollers
Dr. Le has collaborated with or mentored over 20 undergraduate students at Florida Southern in a wide range of projects in biology and chemistry.
