Wenjie Zang completed her PhD study within National University of Singapore in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Stephen J. Pennycook and Prof. John Wang. Currently she is working as a research fellow in Assist. Prof. Qian He’s group.
Research interests 1. Microscopy: structural characterization of multi-dimensional nanomaterials by scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy. 2. Energy conversion and storage: Fabrication and catalytic application of diverse catalysts, e.g. single atom catalysts, single atom alloys, metal organic frameworks, etc.
