Nominator's project description
| Professor Zhigilei is well known internationally for his research in computational materials science and laser-materials interactions. His recent efforts, aimed at revealing the fundamental mechanisms of laser synthesis of nanomaterials in liquids, have provided important insights into laser ablation and fragmentation processes. His computational predictions on the competing nanoparticle formation channels are guiding the advancement of experimental techniques. In Germany, Professor Zhigilei will further explore intriguing research questions related to the complex nonequilibrium phenomenon of laser-materials interactions in liquids. |
