Zhu, Yimei - Stony Brook University - Department of Chemistry

个人简介

Yimei Zhu is a Senior Physicist at the US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). He is also an adjunct professor at the Department of Applied Physics and Mathematics, Columbia University, and the Department of Physics and Astronomy as well as the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at State University of New York at Stony Brook. Zhu is the Group Leader, and Principal Investigator and Project Director of the DOE Basic Energy Science’s Core-Research Program “Nanostructure and Structural Defects of Advanced Materials”. He was one of the three Principal Investigators of the BNL’s nanocenter proposal in 2000 and was considered as a co-founder of the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven. He served as the Facility Leader and the group leader for the Electron Microscopy Facility at CFN. Dr. Zhu received his PhD from Nagoya University, Japan (studying with T. Imura) and was a Research Associate at the University of Virginia (with D. Kuhlmann-Wilsdorf). He joined Brookhaven as Assistant Scientist in 1988, and was promoted through the rank, awarded tenure in 1997, and appointed as Senior Scientist in 2002. His current research focuses on studies of nanoscale phenomena that control materials’ functionality, such as superconductivity and magnetism. Dr. Zhu co-authored one book, edited and co-edited six books. He has written more than a dozen book chapters and review articles, and published over 350 articles in refereed journals and 200 in conference proceedings. He also delivered over 150 invited talks at major international conferences, excluding seminars and lectures at universities and research institutions. During his career, he has served on various academic committees, and received many honors and awards including those from US and foreign governments, scientific societies, and from Brookhaven National Laboratory. Dr. Zhu is an inaugural fellow of Microscopy Society of America and a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Dr. Zhu’s wide research interests cover solid-state physics; nanoscale materials science and engineering; electronic structure and superconductivity; magnetic structure and magnetism; electron-beam scattering and its interaction with matter; synchrotron x-ray and neutron scattering; structural defects and interfaces in perovskites and transition-metal oxides; and, structural modeling and density functional theory calculations. Experimental research experience includes film growth; nanopatterning and lithography; quantitative analysis of intensity and phase of electron diffraction; atomic imaging; electron energy-loss spectroscopy; electron holography; in-situ magnetization and Lorentz microscopy; x-ray and neutron diffraction; and x-ray spectroscopy (XANES and EXAFS). His current research focus is on novel energy materials, including Li-ion batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaics, and thermoelectric materials as well as Fe-based superconductors.
