Research Expertise:

Low Dose In-Line Electron Holography
Three-Dimensional Atomic Resolution Dynamics Reconstruction
Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Shih-Wei Hung conducts research on methodology development of three-dimensional atomic resolution dynamics reconstruction for the soft materials imaging with aberration corrected environmental transmission electron microscope. In addition to electron microscopy, he also investigated material properties at atomic scale, such as biomolecule adsorption, wettability, and thermal boundary conductivity, using molecular dynamics simulations.
