Biography
Dr. Chu is a research engineer for the Institute for Imaging & Analytical Technologies (I2AT) at Mississippi State University. I2AT is a core facility in Mississippi State university and houses major instrumentation to serve the research community including both academic and industrial. Dr. Chu earned her doctoral degree in Chemistry at City University of New York.
Dr. Chu joined Mississippi State University in 2010 as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering and became a full-time researcher at I2AT in 2013. She has experienced in both synthesis and analysis and characterization of materials using various characterization equipment including AFM, SEM, XRD and TEM.
She has collaborated with many research groups in various departments. Additionally, Dr. Chu serves as volunteer coordinator in the premier international Microscopy conference (Microscopy & Microanalysis Conference) for Microscopy Society of America since 2018.
