About
I'm a researcher. My research foced on mechanical study in situ Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). I am skilled in operating SEM/FIB, TEM, nanoindentation, AFM, XRD, Raman, etc.
I'm an engineer. I design and manufacture tools and equipments for my research. I am skilled in 3D design (Rhino, CAD, Solidworks), traditianal manufacture (mill, lathe, etc.) and microfabrication (photolithography, 3D printing, e-beam evaporator, RIE, etc.).
I am also a 3D modeler. Please see my Research Blog and Artwork gallery for details.
