Chao Tan
Personnel:
Chao Tan received his bachelor’s degree in science & Engineering of composite material from Donghua University. He received master’s degree in Molecule Science & nanotechnology from Louisiana Tech University in 2016 and Ph.D. in Engineering in 2019. His research included study the electrochemical properties of carbon nanomaterials-based electrodes in dopamine sensing, understand and optimize implantable microsensor microarrays for ex-vivo and in-vivo detection of glutamate and other neurochemicals.
He is currently doing post-doc training with Dr. Tracy Cui, study on novel neural probes with the capability of drug delivery, recording, chemical stimulation and cell type imaging. In vitro assays and sensors to examine the effect of microelectrode stimulation on neuronal, glial and endothelial cells, in order to determine safety limits and mechanistic understanding of micro-stimulation.
