Hello, I am Rong XIANG. I am currently an assistant professor working at Maruyama-Chiashi Laboratory, Department of Mechanical engineering, the University of Tokyo.
My research interests mainly include
Controlled synthesis and energy application of single-walled carbon nanotube and graphene
In situ spectroscopic and microscopic characterization during the synthesis process of nano-carbon materials
