Education

2000.9—2005.6 Ph.D. (Combined with M.S.) Zhejiang University, China. Major: Materials Physics and Chemistry

Research Interests

Nanoscale science, engineering, nanotechnology and its applications in energy storage and water treatments. In particular, lithium-metal batteries, lithium-silicon batteries, solid-state batteries, battery recycling, groundwater/drinking water purification and the electro-chemo-mechanical diagnosis using in-situ technique. The areas include:

Lithium-ion and lithium-sulfur/metal/silicon/NMC batteries for electric vehicles (EVs)
In-situ TEM study on mechanism at atomic scale
Water-energy nexus: self-cleaning, water purification including PFAS/chemicals/bacteria/chloroform removal
