Ye Zhu Associate Professor Department of Applied Physics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Dr. Ye Zhu is currently an associate professor in the Department of Applied Physics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He received his undergraduate degree from Tsinghua University in China, and his Ph.D from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After graduation, he did postdoc in US and Australia, until joining The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2016. Dr. Zhu has dedicated to developing cutting edge microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, and their applications on emerging materials. Applying these techniques, his team has made numerous breakthroughs, including the first discovery of novel 2D antiferroelectricity and ferroelasticity in indium selenide compound.He has published over 160 journal articles, including high-impact journals such as Nature, Nature Materials, Nature Energy, and Physical Review Letters. The impact of his publication is evidenced by over 8300 citations according to Scopus, with an H-index of 38. His strong track record has won him several professional awards such as the “Early Career Award” from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council in 2017, and the Young Scientist award from the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy (IFSM) in 2014.

We aim to understand properties of emerging materials from the atomic-structure perspective, using tools including but not limited to TEM. More specifically, we are interested in exploring exotic phases and emerging physics in ultrathin 2D materials, intermediate phases during energy conversion/storage reactions, electric and magnetic field mapping at nanometer or even atomic scale, and atomic structure imaging on beam sensitive materials including polymers, MOFs, and battery materials.
