He has applied and developed in situ mechanical/electrical/heating/beam environmental tests on carbon nanotubes, Si nanowires, graphene and relevant 2D materials, and experimentally obtained their atomic structures, chemistry and physical properties. The atomic structures and dynamical responses in atomic scale have been observed/revealed. These research works have been published in renowned journals such as Science, PNAS, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, PRL, JACS, Angew Chemie, etc, with Dr Zhao as the first/corresponding authors. Research Outputs • Filed two patents, one book monograph, more than 20 invited talks in international conferences Awards and Achievements • Faculty Award – Outstanding Young Researcher, 2022 • NSFC Young Excellent Scientist Award, 2019 • One Thousand Talent Project Award (Youth), 2017 • Nanyang Assistant Professorship Award, 2017 • IBS Director's Award, 2015
