Min Kuang

Min Kuang has a diverse range of work experience in scientific research and development. Starting in 2004, they worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, where they focused on self-assembly and biomineralization. From 2006 to 2009, they continued their postdoctoral work at Emory University, specializing in the synthesis and characterization of inorganic nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

In 2009, Kuang joined Ocean Nanotech LLC as a Senior Scientist, where they developed various commercial products, including nanomaterials for drug delivery and biomarker detection. They also optimized bioconjugation conditions for gold nanoparticles. After four years at Ocean Nanotech, Kuang moved on to Carestream Health, where they worked as a Formulation Scientist. Here, they contributed to the formulation of conductive films and inks, as well as the development of thermal and UV topcoats for coatings. They also participated in manufacturing scale-up efforts.

Most recently, Kuang worked at Koppers Inc. as a Sr. Research Scientist. Their responsibilities included developing new formulations for pressure treated wood and wood coatings. They also supervised technology development projects and collaborated closely with sales, marketing, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful commercialization of these products.

Overall, Kuang's work experience showcases their expertise in nanotechnology, formulation development, and project management.

Min Kuang earned a Master's degree in Polymer/Plastics Engineering from Soochow University from 1994 to 2001. From 2001 to 2004, Min Kuang pursued a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Polymer Chemistry, completing their studies at both the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany and Fudan University in China.
