Cheng-Yu-Lai
Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry
Delaware State University, USA
Cheng-Yu Lai was born in Taipei, Taiwan. His interest in science led him toward a career in chemistry. Upon graduating Summa cum Laude from National Chung-Hsing University, Taiwan with B.S. and M.Sc. degrees in chemistry, he started his doctoral studies in the United States, in the Chemistry Department at Iowa State University. His research focus was on mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSN) applied in catalysis, sensing and drugdelivery. Upon receiving his Ph.D. in 2004, Dr. Lai continued his professional preparation as a postdoctoral fellow at The Scripps Research Institute, where he investigated the potential of “vaults”, naturally-occurring nanostructures, for drug-delivery. After finalizing his postdoctoral studies in 2007, Dr. Lai spent five years as a senior scientist at DuPont CR&D before accepting an Associate Professor position in the Department of Chemistry at
Delaware State University in 2012. His current focus is on nanomaterials for renewable energy and biomedical applications.
