Wang Zhen is a specially appointed researcher and doctoral supervisor at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). She obtained her Ph.D. in Science from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014. Subsequently, she conducted postdoctoral research at Louisiana State University (LSU) and Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). In May 2022, she joined the School of Physical Sciences at USTC. Her primary research focus is on the relationship between the microstructure and properties of functional materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Her experimental techniques include atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) imaging, annular bright-field (ABF) imaging, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), 4D-STEM, and in-situ electron microscopy. The materials systems she studies include transition metal oxide heterojunctions, ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, and superconducting materials. She has published over 40 papers in academic journals such as PNAS, Nature Communications, and Physical Review B.
