Research Areas

I have greatly benefited from the 10-year research experience in the UK, developed a unique signature of myself in the field of 3D/4D X-ray CT, electrode structural characterisation and microstructure-resolved modelling, among the battery research community both in the UK and worldwide. I am deeply motivated and ambitious to establish a world-leading research group at the School of Engineering and Materials Science, Queen Mary University of London, conducting world-class research to improve the mechanistic understanding of the physical processes across multiple length scales within the energy storage materials, device and systems, correlating the energy and power performance with the 3D microstructure and its heterogeneities, unravelling the degradation/failure mechanisms and safety issues under different operating conditions, and deliver scalable, sustainable and adaptable technological and engineering solutions to solve today’s Grand Challenge and contribute to the progression towards Net-Zero society.

I am actively working on, but not limited to the following areas:​

  • Microstructural characterisation using 3D/4D X-ray computed tomography

  • In-situ and ex-situ experiment design

  • Correlative research coupling chemical, microstructural and electrochemical data

  • Microstructure-resolved multi-physics electrochemical simulation

  • Mass transport by image-based CFD modelling

  • Advanced battery electrode fabrication

  • Electrochemical testing methods

  • Fracture mechanics and mechanical test for failure analysis

  • Digital image / volume correlation for 2D/3D strain analysis

  • Synchrotron experiments
