Chun-Lin Jia

c.jia@mail.xjtu.edu.cn

Prof. Chun-Lin Jia is a senior research staff at Forschungszentrum Jülich since 1998. He is a group leader at Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI-5) and the Ernst Ruska-Centre. Jia also holds an adjunct professorship and co-operates an electron microscopy research platform at Xi'an Jiaotong University. The main focus of Jia's work is on the investigation of electroceramic materials using advanced electron microscopy techniques, as well as in the development of new methods for the optimal use of aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Jia's awards include the K.H. Kuo Award for outstanding scientists from the Chinese Electron Microscopy Society and the Hatsujiro Hashimoto Medal from the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy.
