Tian Zheng
Academic Specialist - Nanomaterials Characterisation
Tian leads the nanomaterials characterisation (NMC) node of the MCFP. She can provide insight into all modes of modern atomic force microscopy measurements on a range of samples from nanomaterials to biological structures.
Tian has a background in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanomaterial characterisation. In 2017, she joined University of Melbourne as the platform support officer for the Nanomaterial Characterisation Node in MCFP. She has experience in AFM sample preparation, morphological imaging, mechanical characterisation and a range of functional imaging modes for both nanomaterials and biological samples.
