I'm an experimentalist working to understand how materials behave and transform at the nanoscale, especially in 2D materials where subtle structural changes can lead to new electronic phases. Using scanning transmission electron microscopy, I connect atomic structure to macroscopic behavior and develop precise control over strain, stacking, and interlayer coupling. My goal is to integrate this atomic-level manipulation with real-time visualization to bridge nanoscale control and device-level function, establishing a platform that is not only controllable, but also scalable and universal across material systems.
