A/Prof Shery Chang is the associate director of the Electron Microscopy Unit and affiliated with the School of Materials Science and Engineering at UNSW. She holds a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from the University of Cambridge, UK. During her career, she has carried out research in advanced transmission electron microscopy in major electron microscopy laboratories in the world, including Oxford University (UK), McMaster University (Canada), Monash University (Australia), Ernst Ruska-Center, Forschungszentrum Juelich (Germany) and recently as an assistant professor at the long-established John Cowley Centre for High Resolution Electron Microscopy (now Eyring Materials Centre) at Arizona State University, USA. She has over 15 years of experience in aberration-corrected electron microscopy, and has published extensively in theoretical and applications of TEM techniques to nonomaterials. Her recent research is centered on the correlative microscopy with machine learning processing where advanced electron microscopy and spectroscopy, optical microscopy and other microscopy are combined directly obtain the structure-property relationship of nanomaterials.

My research interests centre on the development and application of advanced transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy on nanoparticles and 2D materials for quantum sensing, biomedical and energy applications. Current research topics include:

  • Structure-property relationship of nanodiamond particles for quantum sensing and bio-medical applications

  • Fabrication of high yield, multi-wavelength defect centres in diamond and other materials for quantum sensing and biological imaging applications

  • Development of atomic scale correlative light and transmission electron microscopy for photonic nanomaterials.

  • Surface properties of novel carbon materials and metal oxide particles for energy applications using correlative electron and synchrotron x-ray characterization.

  • Machine learning for enabling high throughput, high volume statistical TEM analysis.

I welcome students with diverse background in physics, chemistry, materials science, computational science and biology. Opportunities for working/collaborations with international industry are available.
