Personal profile
In the past five years, as the first/corresponding author, I have published 12 papers in journals and conferences in the fields of physics, chemistry, and materials, including Adv. Energy. Mater., Appl. Catal. B, and Adv. Electron. Mater. I have been responsible for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction project of the Swiss Innovation Platform SCCER and the hydrogen production project through water electrolysis of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy PALE, and participated in the EU FCH-JU fuel cell cathode catalyst project. Additionally, I serve as a reviewer for journals such as Adv. Mater., ACS Catal., and Adv. Mater. Interfaces.
Research directions
Surface/interface physics, electrochemistry and electrocatalysis, micro- and nanoscale condensed matter physics, electromagnetic functional composites, high-resolution in-situ characterization techniques.
