Visualizing and controlling matter at the nanoscale to unlock new possibilities in catalysis, energy, and functional materials.


We integrate real-time electron microscopy, advanced synthesis, and data-driven approaches to reveal how materials behave, evolve, and interact under working conditions. Our research aims to build fundamental understanding and drive innovation in energy conversion, catalysis, and bioinspired systems.
