Pin-Chiao Tung

I strongly believe in the journey of continuous learning and personal growth, both in life and career. Throughout my academic and professional experiences, I dedicated two years to R&D, specializing in polymer science with a focus on biodegradable materials and 3D printing.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering, and I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Polymer Science and Sustainable Materials. Driven by a passion for sustainable innovation, I am enthusiastic about making meaningful contributions at the nexus of science, engineering, and sustainability.

I consider myself a highly motivated, innovative, and multidisciplinary individual. I believe that science is the most powerful catalyst for progress and development.

- 3D-Printing of Compostable Food Container
- Innovative design and improve barrier performance for PLA food packaging with coating carboxylated agarose calcium alginate blend composite.
- Design 2D foldable food packaging models in Fusion360 (AutoCAD), focusing on FDM printing and 3D bioprinting in hydrogel, as well as conducting mechanical testing of the samples.

- Study of Tough Films made from Carboxylated Agarose and Calcium Alginate by Changing Temperature and pH
- Aim to advocate for the adoption of biodegradable films as sustainable substitutes for traditional
packaging materials.
- Utilizing AFM to probe surface grain variations, roughness changing; mechanical properties testing.
Cast films with Doctor blade method.
