Rwy'n ficrosgopydd electron gyda ffocws ar nodweddu nanoddeunyddiau a chatalyddion heterogenaidd. Rwy'n defnyddio microsgopeg electron trosglwyddo sganio wedi'i gywiro aberration i bennu strwythur atomig ystod eang o systemau deunyddiau. Mae nodweddu strwythur deunyddiau i lawr i'r raddfa atomig yn caniatáu llawer mwy o ddealltwriaeth o'u heiddo. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn penderfynu strwythur arwyneb deunyddiau i ddeall priodweddau catalytig.
Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn delweddu tri dimensiwn o nanoddeunyddiau, gan bennu'r strwythur 3D a'r dosbarthiad elfennol o fewn nanoronynnau. Mae gennyf ddiddordebau hefyd mewn delweddu catalyddion heterogenaidd yn ystod adweithiau yn y fan a'r lle, ac wrth gyfuno gwahanol dechnegau nodweddu â microsgopeg electronau i ddeall priodweddau materol yn well.

Ymchwil
Fy mhrif ffocws ymchwil yw datblygu a defnyddio microsgopeg electronau i nodweddu a deall deunyddiau catalytig. Yn fy ngrŵp, rydym yn defnyddio microsgopeg electron trosglwyddo sganio wedi'i gywiro aberration yn bennaf i bennu strwythur atomig catalyddion nanoronynnau. Mae microsgopeg electronau wedi gweld datblygiadau sylweddol dros y degawd diwethaf ac mae bellach yn dechneg sylfaenol i ddeall strwythur atomig llawer o systemau deunydd.
