Ziye Dong

Ziye Dong is a Staff Scientist at LLNL where he develops protein/enzyme immobilization strategies for metal ion recovery and enzymatic reactions. Before join LLNL, Ziye obtained his Ph.D. In Chemical Engineering in Aug. 2019 from Texas Tech University, where he studied lithography, thin-film coating, and materials characterization. - protein/enzyme immobilization - metal (rare earth elements) recovery and separation through ion exchange column - bacteria culturing - Layer-by-Layer assembly for thin-film fabrication - soft lithography, photolithography, microfabrication - microfluidics such as droplet generation - working in research laboratory, BSL-2 laboratory and mammalian cells culture - hollow fiber membrane fabrication - membrane pervaporation process - hands on experiences in Gas Chromatography, AFM, SEM, profilometer, TGA, FT-IR, UV-vis, QCM-D Keyword: rare earth recovery, bacteria culturing, protein immobilization, bacteria immobilization, enzymatic reaction, microfluidics, thin film, thin coating, Layer-by-Layer assembly, soft lithography, photo lithography, cell culture, biomaterials, droplets generation, experimental design, flow cytometry, polymer, design of experiment, microscopy, data acquisition and analysis
