Lin Yue, Professor at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), PhD supervisor, and recipient of the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars of China. He was selected as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher from 2020 to 2024, included in the 2024 Outstanding Young Talent Support Program for Analytical Testing in Higher Education (First-Class Project), and received the 2020 Chinese Academy of Sciences Youth Innovation Promotion Association Talent Support. He serves as a member of the first Youth Scholar Expert Committee of the Chinese Electron Microscopy Society. As a corresponding author, he has published over 50 papers in high-impact journals such as Science, Nature, PNAS, Sci. Adv., Nat. Commun., Adv. Mater., and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., with more than 30,000 citations. He is a young editorial board member for Carbon Energy and Green Energy & Environment. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Physics from Lanzhou University in 2007 and his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from USTC in 2012. He leads projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Excellent Young Scholars, General, and Youth Programs) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Collaborative Innovation Project for Large-Scale Science Centers. Currently, he works at the Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale (Devision of Advanced Measurement Instruments Research) and the Instruments Center for Physical Science, USTC, overseeing spherical aberration electron microscopy testing and research. His work focuses on developing transmission electron microscopy techniques, studying energy catalysis materials through spherical aberration and in-situ electron microscopy, and elucidating the growth and energy storage mechanisms of novel energy catalysis materials to understand the relationship between their microstructure and performance.
