About the Authors

Aixia Sun, M.Sc. (Chemistry)

I was born in China and immigrated to U.S. in 90’s. I received B.S. in physical chemistry & instrumental analysis from Tsinghua University - Beijing, China and M.S. in chemistry from University of Missouri - St. Louis. I have been working in domestic and international organizations, across the fields of diagnostic, environmental, and pharmaceuticals. I currently work as the Principal Scientist at American Clinical Solutions, which is located at Sun City Center, FL. My primary responsibilities are the development, optimization, and validation of robust, high throughput, and CLIA compliant High Performance Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) mythologies for testing patient samples. In addition, I created and implemented laboratory automation for sample preparation to improve laboratory workflow, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. I reside in Brandon, FL. I like to work out and travel.

For 15 years, I have been employed by the New York City Department of Education and teach Chemistry at Brooklyn Tech where I am a Weston Research Mentor and conduct pioneering studies in the biomechanics of solar hydrogen electrochemistry.  For more than four years I have been a visiting scientist at the Dynamics Systems Laboratory of Dr. Maurizio Porfiri, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at New York University. In addition to my research in the biomechanics of piscine robots at NYU, my other area of research focus is the investigation of neuro-endocrine disruption due to the PCBs in apex predators.  Two years ago I was nominated to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) and have been the recipient of the 2010 Siemens Founders Award and the 2011 STARS Award.
