Prior to his current position, Christopher Tse had successfully applied his knowledge of polymer science in developing disposable and peelable wall paint. This patent pending invention provides a temporary wall transformation without damaging the existing wall finishing. The highest priority in his science research is to develop eco-friendly and marketable products.

In art, Christopher is accomplished in the use of a wide variety of sculptural techniques and materials, including ceramics, wood, textiles and mixed-media and found object art. His “two-dimensional” art skills include drawing and watercolor. He has also worked in video installation. His work is smart, funny, and extremely well-crafted. Christopher has also created a number of ambitious sewn projects, including “art garments” as well as functional fashion designs.

For the last three years, Christopher's has been a teaching assistance in fine art and engineering programs at San Jose State University. He has also served as a Para-educator for 4th and 5th grades at the Hayward Unified School District. This summer, he has joined the City of Sunnyvale as Pottery Art instructor for their Summer Express Program.
