Biography

Dr. Zhiyong Peng received his PhD in analytical chemistry from Louisiana State University in 2012. After his postdoc study in Boston University, he joined the Heart Institute of East Carolina University as a Research Scientist focusing on development of laser speckle imaging technique for blood perfusion measurement and analysis. His research efforts span microfluidic biosensing applications, ultra-sensitive single-molecule detection and imaging, DNA/RNA molecular assays, and clean energy production. He is the inventor of a beam splitting technology to project a distant object onto a single digital imaging sensor to form synchronized and duplicate images in different spectral channels. He first demonstrated that cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) can be used as microfluidic substrate for efficient enzymatic reactions through a simple dynamic coating process. Meanwhile, he discovered that COC, when used in microfluidic chip for laser-induced fluorescence single molecule detection, can give unparalleled single to background ratio which promotes polymer microchip to be an enabling device for single molecule detection. Dr. Peng is an active peer reviewer for more than 15 reputed scientific journals in the field of analytical chemistry and biosensors. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as well.
