Biography

Dr. Jiechao Jiang is a Professor of Research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington and the facility manager of the UTA Characterization Center for Materials and Biology. Dr. Jiang received his Ph.D. in 1993 from the University of Science and Technology Beijing and the Beijing Laboratory of Electron Microscopy, Chinese Academy of Science. Dr. Jiang he has worked at Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, Louisiana), University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan), University of Marburg (Germany) and Stockholm University (Sweden). Dr. Jiang has more than thirty years of experience in the field of electron microscopy and microanalysis. He has extensive expertise of most electron microscope techniques and tremendous experience in surface analysis. Dr. Jiang has published about 200 referred journal articles on the advance materials including quasicrystals, minerals, semiconductor and ceramic oxide thin films, surface modified materials, multifunctional hard coatings and nanostructured materials. Dr. Jiang’s research interests:

•  Materials characterization using AFM, analytical TEM, high Resolution TEM, in-situ TEM, SEM, XRD, Auger, XPS, and TGA/DSC, etc.

•  Microstructures and defects of advanced functional materials and minerals, atomic structure modeling for new phases and interfaces, electron crystallographic image processing and image simulation.  

•  Atomistic structure of multi-layer and film/substrate interfaces of epitaxial thin films.

•  Self-assembled nanostructures for nano-electronic and opto-electric devices, and nano fuel cells.  

•  Processing, microstructures, and property relationships in micro/nano-scale materials (thin films, coatings, surface layers and nanomaterials).

•  Nucleation, growth mechanisms, interface structures and surface morphologies, structural modeling and simulation of epitaxial thin films, transition metal-based multifunctional hard coatings.
