Summary
Li-kai Lin is a bilingual research and teaching assistant with eight years of hands-on experience in semiconductor, nanotechnology, materials, and biomedical engineering, currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Engineering at Purdue University. He designs and fabricates micro- and nanoscale circuits and integrated opto-electro-chromatographic biosensors, and applies TEM/cryo-EM and diverse immunoassays for sensing targets from endocrine disruptors to pathogens. Li-kai combines laboratory rigor with teaching experience—delivering materials and biomaterials courses and English instruction—to translate complex theory into practical skills for students and collaborators. He has contributed to grant proposal development and interdisciplinary projects such as enzyme-based ethylene detection and lyophilization studies, reflecting a knack for bridging academic research with translational applications. Based in Jamaica, he brings international training from National Cheng Kung University and USC, strong communication skills, and a track record of conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
