Qinyuan Jiang obtained his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology in 2019, and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2024. Qinyuan’s doctoral study mainly focuses on the synthesis, properties, and applications of ultralong carbon nanotubes. At RAMI, Qinyuan is working with Prof. Shengxi Huang and Prof. Jun Kono to investigate the controlled synthesis and exotic properties of nanostructured topological materials. This research may give rise to deeper understandings of structure-property relationships in topological systems, as well as the development of (opto) electronic devices with higher performance.

Xinyan Li is a RAMI Postdoctoral Fellow at Rice University. He received his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Shandong University and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) with Prof. Lin Gu. His research focused on in-situ scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and the characterization of ferroelectric and energy materials. After graduating from IOP CAS, he joined Prof. Ramamoorthy Ramesh and Prof. Yimo Han’s group at Rice University to expand his knowledge on four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM), as well as develop in-situ 4D-STEM methods for the characterization of multiferroic and 2D ferroelectric materials. Dr. Li received the Director's Scholarship Recognition Award (2020) and Merit Student of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) (2021).
