Monday, November 3, at noon in CUE 319
Chongmin Wang from the Environmental Molecular Sciences, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will be our guest speaker. The topic is: In-situ TEM: The techniques and their application for studying energy storage and catalytic materials
Chongmin Wang earned his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK in 1994. From 1994–1996, he was at the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow, Max Planck Institute for Metal Research, Stuttgart, Germany. During 1996–1997, he was a Research Scientist, National Institute for Materials, Tuskuba, Japan and from 1997–2001 a Research Scientist II, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA. 2001–2003 he was a Senior Research Scientist I, Interphase and Thin Film Group, FSD, PNNL. 2003–present he serves as a Senior Senior Research Scientist (2003-2014) and staff scientist (2014) in the Microscopy group at EMSL, PNNL.
His research interests are: In-situ TEM measurement of structure and properties under dynamic operating condition; Nanostructured materials and their electrical, thermal, photonic, and mechanical properties; Microstructure and property relationship; Energy storage materials and fundamental mechanism; Atomic level imaging of materials using electron beam, x-ray photons, and ions; Dopant and grain boundary segregation of solid materials. Radiation effect and defect clustering in nuclear materials; Polymer derived ceramics; Creep properties of high temperature structural ceramics and atomic level transport process.
