Research Areas
What we intend to do
Understanding the mechanisms of materials phenomena through the application of advanced microscopy techniques. Advanced materials, thin films and nanostructures for alternative energy applications are the focus materials for current and future research. We are trying to address the following issues currently
Quantitative electron microscopy for characterizing light atoms and defects in structural and functional materials
In-situ electron microscopy to decipher the structural and functional mechanisms at atomic scale
Phase transformation in vanadium and related materials for nuclear fusion application
Nanoarchitectonics of dynamic and static self-assembly in metallics and oxides for high density memory storage, batteries and heat pumps
Defects and interfaces in 2D-perovskites and its functional relations
Commensurate modulations in structurally complex ceramics
Evolution mechanisms of compositionally modulated domains in multicomponent oxides
Stability and microstructural evolution in high entropy materials
Understanding local solidification mechanisms in additive manufacturing
Bulk metallic glass composites and tailoring of microstructures for property optimization.
We are not limited to the above topics. We would like to expand and grow. In case you have any idea and would like to share with us, please feel free to drop a line. We will be happy to collaborate with you.
