Research Interests

1. Crystal structures
* Structural analysis through (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM), convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) and nano-area electron diffraction (NED)
* Atomic configurations at surfaces, interfaces, and defect structures

2. Electronic structures
* Analyzing electronic structure of functional materials through electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations
* Electronic structures of interfaces, grain boundaries, and defects

3. Nano scale measurements of charge distribution and strain fields
* Charge distribution in nanostructures using CBED or STEM images
* Measuring strain field in semiconductor/optical devices or in multilayered thin films
