MATTHEW BROWN
363 Rowland Hall, x2656 (949-824-2656) "mabrown" at "uci.edu" B.S. Univ. Ottowa Chemistry, 2004

Matt studies the partitioning of ions at gas-liquid and gas-solid surfaces using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy both at UC Irvine, and the Advanced Light Source.

MING H. CHEN
351 Rowland Hall, x2656 (949-824-2656) "minghsic" at "uci.edu" B.S. National Changhua Univ. of Ed., Taiwan Chemistry, 2001 M.S. National Tsing Hua Univ., Taiwan Chemistry, 2003

Ming studies the interface propeties of material surfaces by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The projects include the investigation of the gas-liquid interface at Advanced Light Source in Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and the investigation of the gas-solid interface in Irvine. Before arriving at UCI, Ming spent four years doing research at the National Nano Device Laboratories in Taiwan.
