“The preparation and characterization of DNA fluorescent silver nanocluster”-wordy，scientific training in XXX University – unclear

• Supervised by Researcher XXX– incorrect connotation Jun 2017 – Jul 2017

• Synthesized fluorescent DNA silver nanoclusters by hybridized DNA duplexes.– unclear
• Discovered the quadratic relationship between the maximum photoluminescence intensity and the concentration of magnesium acetate.

“The retrieval of structural information about aqueous solutions from the near infrared spectroscopy”wordy/grammatical/formatting issue, College Students’ Innovation Project

• Supervised by Prof XXX Mar 2018 – Mar 2019

• Previous study showed that a board spectral feature of aqueous solutions in NIR can be resolved into 6 Gaussian peaks by a genetic algorithm to extract information about water structure. 5 of them can be assigned to 5 water components. This does not relate to what you did/are doing. 
• Self-learnt Matlab. grammatical error
• Developed knowledge-based genetic algorithm based on the knowledge of hydrogen bonding. wording/grammatical issue/unclear
• Improved the genetic algorithm by wavelet transform, binary coding, multi-objective selection operator. Grammatical error/unclear
• Extracted the variation tendency of the relative contents of 9 water species. unclear
• Wrote a draft of a paper, which is being revised currently. unclear/if it is just a common paper, no need to mention that. If it is for publishing in a peer-reviewed journal, make it clear.

“Understanding the instability of droplet with microion and ion distribution in non-aqueous droplets”, Mitacs Globalink Research Internship

• Supervised by Associate Prof XXX May 2019 – Aug 2019

• Molecular dynamic simulation can be applied in the analysis of the droplets generated by ESI, which deepens our understanding of ESI-MS. Previous research showed that the droplet with a nonfissile ion will acquire a shape of star with several spikes.
• Self-learnt NAMD, Python and Tcl script language.
• Investigated the effect of different solutes on star-shaped droplets by molecular dynamic simulation, and explained the seemingly contradictory result against Rayleigh model by volume effect.
• Calculated ion distribution of non-aqueous droplets of different solvents by home-made Tcl script, and found an interesting discrepancy among the ion distribution in these droplets, which can be an interesting topic for future research.
