About

I joined Georgia Southern University (GSU), Department of Biochemistry, Chemistry & Physics, in August 2025 as an assistant professor. I am a researcher with an interdisciplinary background of both material science in ceramic/metal-alloy/semiconductor and device engineering in energy harvesting field, specifically for thermoelectric, high entropy alloy, thermomagnetic, shape memory alloy, and perovskite oxide/oxynitride materials. I received the Ph.D. degree in Department of Materials Science and Engineering from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany in 2015, and then worked in Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems at Virginia Tech as a postdoctoral fellow from 2016 to 2018. I worked at Penn State University as Assistant Research Professor and Associate Research Profess between 2018 and 2025. My research interests focus on advanced functional and structural materials for sustainable energy coversion and storage.
