About

As a postdoctorate at Anhui Agricultural University, I am working on synthesizing 2D materials through the Joule heating method. The prepared carbon materials will be characterized and employed for energy storage applications. Furthermore, I have a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri, Columbia, where my research focused on synthesizing and characterizing laser-induced graphene (LIG) from biomass (i.e., lignin). The synthesized LIG was employed to fabricate solid-state, flexible supercapacitors and electrochemical sensors.
