Yichao Zhang is currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her general research interest is using time-resolved electron microscopy to understand structural dynamics in various solid-state materials systems. Her current work focuses on using in situ aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and ptychochography to gain insight into structural transformation in moiré systems. She received her PhD in Materials Science from the University of Minnesota as the Louise T. Dosdall fellow and Phi Kappa Phi doctoral dissertation fellow. Her doctoral work focused on investigating coherent-acoustic-phonon dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides using ultrafast electron microscopy.
