Dr. Wei-Lung Tseng holds a position of Professor at Department of Chemistry, National Sun Yat-sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He has completed his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from same University. Previously he was appointed as Postdoctoral Researcher, Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. He has authored and co-authored more than 80 scientific publications. His research group is creating structures on Metal Nanoparticles for the development of Colorimetric/ Fluorescent Sensors and nanoparticle-related extraction system based Molecular Recognition and Covalent Bonding Formation. Moreover, he devised a series of oligonucleotide-based sensors for selective and sensitive detection of heavy metal ions, anti-cancer drug, and single nucleotide polymorphisms. Current research includes: (i) the stabilization of gold nanoparticles and iron oxide nanoparticles with specific ligands for colorimetric/ fluorescent detection of heavy metal ions, aminothiols, cyanide, hydrogen peroxide, and enzyme activity; (ii) protein-directed synthesis of highly fluorescent metal nanocluster and its application to the detection of Hg(II), CH3Hg(I), and glutathione; (iii) the combination of nanoparticle-based extraction and capillary electrophoresis for the determination of thiol-containing molecules, catechol-containing molecules, and environmental pollutants; and (iv) the development of oligonucleotide-related sensors based on non-base pairing interaction. Dr. Wei- Lung received honors includes Award for Outstanding Young Scholar, Outstanding Young Investigator Award, and Mr. Wu Ta-you Memorial Award from National Sun Yat-sen University.
