TEM Engineer of the EM Center

Overview

Zhixiang Si obtained his B.E. in polymer material Engineering from Shandong University in 2017. In 2020, he received his M.E. from Beijing University of technology under the supervision of the Prof. Manling Sui and joined Guangdong Technion Israel Institute of technology (GTIIT). From 2020 to now, he served as a transmission electron microscope engineer in Electron Microscope Center (EMC). His research is mainly focus on perovskite films and solar cells. He has participated in many NSFC and Guangdong Science and Technology projects and published 2 journal paper. He has a lot of experience in characterizing various materials (including metal, polymer, ceramics, etc.) by Transmission Electron Microscope. He has a deep understanding of the equipment and the analysis of experimental data.
