Research

My research explores the solid mechanics and nanomechanics of battery materials, especially focusing on understanding their mechanical challenges across various length scales. I investigate mechanical properties, deformation behavior, and failure mechanisms in materials like metallic anodes and solid electrolytes.  By integrating experimental techniques such as nanoindentation and Vickers microhardness tester, I aim to enhance the durability and efficiency of next-generation battery technologies. 

I focus on the interplay between chemical processes and mechanical behaviors in electrochemical batteries. Electrochemical cycling induces significant mechanical stresses and deformation within the system. By observing mechanical phenomena in situ, I aim to uncover fundamental insights and develop strategies to enhance the performance and stability of future batteries.
