BIOGRAPHY

Tan Mei Chee graduated with her bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering, and earned her master and doctorate degrees with the Singapore-MIT Alliance at the National University of Singapore. She continued to expand her research and teaching experience as a postdoctoral researcher at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.  She has extensive experience in synthesis, modification and characterization of optical nanomaterials with controlled sizes and morphologies for biomedical applications (e.g., targeted drug delivery, diagnostic imaging) and energy-efficient illuminators. She is interested in adopting an interdisciplinary research approach to develop of innovative engineering applications that are founded on sound scientific principles.  Her research focuses on the study and engineering of tailored interfaces using solution methods to fabricate advanced multifunctional composites. She has extensive experience in the design and synthesis of photonic nanomaterials and functional composite systems. Her work has been published in several top-tiered peer reviewed journals and 2 book chapter contributions in the areas of synthesis, modification and characterization of optical nanomaterials and composites with controlled sizes, morphologies and properties for biomedical applications and energy-efficient devices.
