About Me

Employment

STROBE Postdoctoral Fellow, UCLA

October 2020 - present

I am stationed National Center for Electron Microscopy, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), where I perform advanced experiments using aberration-corrected electron microscopes. My expertise include electron ptychography and atomic electron tomography. My current research projects include:

1. Deciphering the 3D atomic structure of amorphous materials using atomic electron tomography.
2. Electron ptychography of van der Waals heterointerfaces.
3. X-ray ptychography of radiation-sensitive materials.
4. Depth sectioning of materials on the nanoscale via multislice ptychography.
5. Visualizing individual light atoms in three dimensions via ptychographic tomography.
