Expertise

  • High Resolution Scanning / Transmission Electron Microscopy (S/TEM)
  • In-situ / Operando TEM
  • Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS)
  • Electron X-ray Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX)

Research Activities

My research aims describing specific mechanisms of electrochemical reactions and degradation of electrode materials using ex-situ and in-situ transmission electron microscopy. Particular interest includes real-time observation, and structural and chemical characterizations. Fundamental understandings on energy storage materials at the nano scale will provide valuable insights on designing novel materials with excellent performance.
