Bio
Prof. Dr. Peng He is currently an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry at North Carolina A&T State University. Dr. He received B.E. degree in Applied Chemistry at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. He received M.S. degree in Polymer Science at University of Southern Mississippi and Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at North Carolina State University. Dr. He worked as a postdoctoral associate in Biological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University, a scientist to support P&G Chemicals and Fabric & Home Care Business R&D at Procter & Gamble, and Assistant Professor in Chemistry at University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
Research Interests
Prof. Dr. Peng He's research interests include bioanalytical chemistry and biosensors, polymer chemistry and physics, and phospholipid-nanomaterial bioconjugates. He is developing new types of polymer/polymerization-based bioanalytical sensors for early screening and diagnosis of human diseases, and health assessment in space. In the past, he developed an Amplification-by-Polymerization approach in DNA biosensing, electrochemical biosensors in microfluidics, phospholipid-nanomaterial bioconjugates via phospholipid modification/functionalization, and in-situ FTIR approach to study polymer conformational change during the thermal degradation.
