Wei-Lung Tseng’s research encompasses wide areas concerned with the synthesis and application of nanoparticles in biosensors, capillary electrophoresis, catalysis, and extraction. Moreover, he designed a series of oligonucleotides to be used as molecular beacons and optical sensors based on non-Watson Crick base pairing. The work traverses areas of analytical chemistry, material chemistry, and, more recently, bio-analytical and environmental chemistry. He has demonstrated the practical applicability of these different types of sensors for detecting heavy metal ions, aminothiols, hydrogen peroxide, cyanide, enzyme activity, single nucleotide polymorphisms, and anti-cancer drug coralyne. Dr. Tseng has authored and co-authored over 170 published articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals with more than 8000 citations (data from Google Scholar). The h index of 53 after 11 years of scientific activity clearly indicates his consistent publication productivity behavior (data from Google Scholar). Tseng’s recent publications, including Anal. Chem. 2010, Vol. 82, pp. 6830, Anal. Chem. 2010, Vol. 82, pp. 9194, Small 2012, Vol. 8, pp.1912, identified as a “Highly cited paper”.
