About Dr Xiaozhou Liao
The ultimate goal of material scientists is to produce materials with desirable properties. Because materials properties are determined by the structures of materials, it is essential to understand the structures and structure-property relationships of materials. Electron microscopy has been arguably the most powerful technique for the structural characterization of materials.
Electron microscopy characterization of advanced structural and functional materials, materials structure-property relationship, nanomaterials.
Dr. Xiaozhou Liao received his PhD degree from the University of Sydney in 2000. He moved to USA taking up a Director Funded Postdoctoral Fellowship in Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2001 and was a research scientist in the University of Chicago from 2004 to 2006. He is now a senior lecturer and an Australian Research Council Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, the University of Sydney.
Dr Liao's research interest focuses on electron microscopy characterization of advanced structural and functional materials, materials structure-property relationship, and nanomaterials. He has published ~100 papers in prestigious international journals including Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters and Applied Physics Letters. His papers have been collectively cited over 2,200 times and the h-index of his publications has reached 29.
