Dr. Mingjian Wu is an enthusiastic “nano-photographer” with decade-long experiences developing and application of cutting-edge electron microscopy, diffraction, spectroscopy techniques combined with in situ/in-operando approaches and data science tools to obtain unique insights in a wide spectrum of modern functional materials.He obtained bachelor and master degree in Materials Science in Hunan University, China. Shortly after having obtained doctor degree from Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany with a top honor grade “summa cum laude”, he joined the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nurnberg (FAU), Germany in 2015. He was later promoted to staff scientist there and currently a senior staff scientist, supervising two state-of-the-art TEM instruments. He has published ~50 peer reviewed articles in international renewed journals. He is one of the three awardee of “Outstanding Paper Award” from the European Microscopy Society in 2023 for his innovative work of 4D-SCED to study extremely beam sensitive organic materials.
