Kai Sun
Kai Sun is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory at the University of Michigan.
Kai Sun has worked in the Beijing Laboratory of Electron Microscopy, Chinese Academy of Sciences as a Ph.D. candidate with Professor K.H. Kuo and in the Electron Crystallography Group at the Stockholm University with Professor X.D. Zou and in the Interface Physics Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago with Professor N.D. Browning and in the Radiation Materials Science Research Group at the University of Michigan with Professor L.M. Wang as postdoctoral researchers.
Kai Sun is an expert in microstructure characterization of materials using transmission electron microscopy (ED, BF and DF, HREM, EFTEM, EDS and EELS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF EDS and EELS), scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
He has been involved in research in a broad range of materials fields. In the field of energy related materials, he is studying amorphous silicon based, CdTe based and small organic molecules based solar cell materials. He is also studying some catalyst materials that have potential applications in fuel cells.
Kai Sun is a MMPEI Faculty Fellow.
