I am an early career researcher in materials science. My expertise includes energy storage devices, microscopy, 2D materials, and 3D printing. I am currently working on surface analysis techniques for lithium-ion batteries, and advanced manufacturing for smart electrodes. 

I am currently a Faraday Institution research fellow in the Nextrode project, and an enterprise and innovation fellow in the MPLS division. I also serve as a Robotic Arm project leader in Oxford Robotics and Additive Manufacturing Society (OxRAM), a career mentor under the People and Organisational Development (POD) unit, and a supervisor of a 3D printing lab in Oxford Materials Characterisation service (OMCS), University of Oxford. I have been a David Cockayne Junior Research Fellow at Linacre College since Autumn 2022. 

I received an MS degree from Tsinghua University, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Tsukuba. I was a Junior researcher at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan.
