Dr. Sung joined the Polymeric Materials Group of the Materials and Construction Division as a contractor in October 1999, and was converted as a full-time Research Physicist in November 2001. She is responsible for planning and implementing research on appearance properties and microstructure characterization (including particle dispersion) of coatings and plastics. She also has developed improved measurement methods and models for describing and predicting the optical reflectance and scattering of materials. She is also involved in a number of exciting projects related to developing metrologies for service life prediction of polymeric building materials, and the NIST/industry consortium on Interfaces and Interphases in Polymeric Material Systems for conducting research on the surface morphology and optical properties (appearance) related measurements. Prior to joining Materials and Construction Division, Dr. Sung’s professional experience included a 3-year employment after her BS degree as Head Teaching Assistant in NTNU, Taiwan. In addition to teaching and administration duties, she assisted in organizing numerous scientific meetings and workshops in Physics Education. With teaching and research fellowships, Dr. Sung completed her Ph.D. in physics from UCSB and joined NIST as a Guest Researcher in the Polymers Division in 1993. Since then, she has worked as an instrumental scientist in the neutron reflectivity facility at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, and as a researcher in the Optical Technology Division, conducting surface and interfacial characterization using optical scattering metrology. She has published numerous peer reviewed papers and conference proceedings, and has expertise in the field of phase behavior and morphology of polymer blends, thin films, and coatings using scattering, reflection, and microscopy techniques. Dr. Sung is a member of the American Physical Society (APS), American Chemistry Society (ACS), Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society, Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA), Council for Optical Radiation Measurement (CORM), and Federation of Society for Coatings Technology (FSCT). She has served as a member of Technical Meeting Program Committee of FSCT since 2002, and has been devoted to improving the technical content and merit of the technical sessions, increasing the educational value of the program to members of the coatings community, and providing a forum for educators, students, and members of associated industries in International Coating Exhibition events. She has organized FSCT/ICE Technical Program since 2003 and the Advanced Coating Series on “Nanotechnology Application in Coatings” Symposium biannually. Dr. Sung also co-chaired the “Nanotechnology Applications in Coatings Symposium” at the Fall ACS Meeting in September 2006 in San Francisco, CA. |
