Rwy'n ficrosgopydd electron gyda ffocws ar nodweddu nanoddeunyddiau a chatalyddion heterogenaidd. Rwy'n defnyddio microsgopeg electron trosglwyddo sganio wedi'i gywiro aberration i bennu strwythur atomig ystod eang o systemau deunyddiau. Mae nodweddu strwythur deunyddiau i lawr i'r raddfa atomig yn caniatáu llawer mwy o ddealltwriaeth o'u heiddo. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn penderfynu strwythur arwyneb deunyddiau i ddeall priodweddau catalytig.
Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn delweddu tri dimensiwn o nanoddeunyddiau, gan bennu'r strwythur 3D a'r dosbarthiad elfennol o fewn nanoronynnau. Mae gennyf ddiddordebau hefyd mewn delweddu catalyddion heterogenaidd yn ystod adweithiau yn y fan a'r lle, ac wrth gyfuno gwahanol dechnegau nodweddu â microsgopeg electronau i ddeall priodweddau materol yn well.
Am fwy o wybodaeth am y cyfleusterau microsgopeg electron yn yr ysgol gemeg, gweler yma.

Ymchwil
Fy mhrif ffocws ymchwil yw datblygu a defnyddio microsgopeg electronau i nodweddu a deall deunyddiau catalytig. Yn fy ngrŵp, rydym yn defnyddio microsgopeg electron trosglwyddo sganio wedi'i gywiro aberration yn bennaf i bennu strwythur atomig catalyddion nanoronynnau. Mae microsgopeg electronau wedi gweld datblygiadau sylweddol dros y degawd diwethaf ac mae bellach yn dechneg sylfaenol i ddeall strwythur atomig llawer o systemau deunydd. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn y pynciau penodol canlynol mewn microsgopeg electronau.
delweddu 3D o nanomaterials
Mae'r grŵp yn datblygu technegau ar gyfer delweddu tri dimensiwn o nanoddeunyddiau gan ddefnyddio microsgopeg electronau. Rydym yn defnyddio tomograffeg electronau i fesur maint, siâp a dosbarthiad catalyddion nanoronynnol ac mae gennym brosiectau gweithredol i wthio tomograffeg electronau i gydraniad atomig, gan ein galluogi i ddatgelu lleoliad yr holl atomau mewn nanoronyn mewn 3D. Mae gennym lawer o brofiad mewn tomograffeg electronau sbectrosgopig, yn enwedig wrth ddefnyddio sbectrosgopeg pelydr-X gwasgarol egni i fapio dosbarthiad 3D elfennau o fewn nanoronynnau.
Rydym hefyd yn dilyn y defnydd o dechnegau newydd i ddeall strwythur 3D nanoronynnau. Mae ein hymchwil yn cynnwys y defnydd o ailadeiladu gronynnau sengl, techneg a ddefnyddir yn bennaf ar gyfer delweddu proteinau a firysau, a chyfrif atom o ddelweddau cydraniad atomig sengl.

Astudio ymatebion yn y fan a'r lle
Mae gan y grŵp ddiddordeb arbennig yn y defnydd o systemau yn eu lle i alluogi delweddu catalyddion heterogenaidd o dan amodau adwaith. Mae deiliaid yn y fan a'r lle ar gyfer microsgop electronau trosglwyddo yn galluogi delweddu adweithiau ar bwysau nwy atmosfferig a thymheredd uchel (dros 1000 ° C). Mae defnyddio'r systemau'n galluogi ein grŵp i astudio amrywiaeth o gatalyddion yn eu lle i ddeall sut maent yn newid o ran maint, siâp a chyfansoddiad elfennol, y mae pob un ohonynt yn cael effaith ddwys ar eu priodweddau catalytig.

Datblygiadau mewn prosesu delweddau ar gyfer microsgopeg electron
I gefnogi dwy elfen fawr fy ymchwil, mae gen i ddiddordeb brwd mewn datblygu methodoleg prosesu delweddau a'i gymhwyso mewn microsgopeg electronau. Mae fy ngrŵp wedi bod yn rhan o ddatblygu a chymhwyso methodoleg ar gyfer segmentu delweddau, lleihau sŵn a delweddu tri dimensiwn. Rwyf wedi gwneud cyfraniadau (weithiau mân) i becynnau meddalwedd a ddefnyddir yn eang ar gyfer dadansoddi microsgopeg electronau fel Hyperspy, yn ogystal â datblygu fy pecyn fy hun ar gyfer segmentu delweddau microsgopeg electronau o'r enw ParticleSpy.
