Research Interests

My research interests at KAUST mainly focus on the atomic-scale characterization of various extremely beam-sensitive nanomaterials with advanced transmission electron microscopy, in hope of unraveling the novel topological, energetic and dynamic features of multi-dimensional crystal defects significantly affecting the properties and performances.
