Nominator's project description

Professor Yu Han is well-known internationally for his contributions in the field of ultralow-dose high-resolution electron microscopy of highly sensitive materials. He has made important methodological developments enabling the direct observations of various local structures in nanoporous materials at atomic resolution. Professor Yu Han combines innovative analytical techniques to foster the understanding of local structures in porous materials and their impact on applications for energy and environment technologies e.g. gas separation and catalysis. During his stay in Germany, he intends to investigate a class of dynamic nanoporous materials and their responsivity mechanisms.
