Personal statement

Lihua Wang, professor and doctoral supervisor. He has focused on the “in situ atomic-scale deformation mechanisms of materials”and in situ atomic-scale deformation method and its application. With the home-made device, for the first time, he revealed that the mechanism underlying the grain rotation is dislocation climb at the grain boundary. He provide the first in situ atomic-scale observations of the bent Ni nanowires can continuous deformed to a strain as high as 34.6%, which is far beyond the theoretical prediction (high light by Nature Materials). He has published more than 60 high-quality journal papers, include Physics Review Letters; Nature Communications (4); 4 Nano Letters (4); ACS Nano (2);Angewandte Chemie International Edition; advanced Function Materials; NPG Asia Materials; Acta Materials (3); Applied Physics Letters (5); Scripta Materialia (7) etc.. The citation times have exceeded 3000 times. He has secured the National Science Foundation for Outstanding Young Scientists; the Beijing Outstanding Young Scientists Award; New Talent Researcher of Beijing; Excellent Doctoral Dissertation of Beijing, KH Kuo Young Scientist Award and so on. Because of these achievements, he has undertaken several big projects, such as National Science Foundation,National Key R & D Program of China etc., and his total funding has exceeded 60,000,000 RMB.
