Biography

Fu-Yun is a researcher specializing in corrosion experiments and nanoscale characterization, with a focus on materials used in extreme environments. Her work includes simulating Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) conditions in autoclaves to study oxide formation on stainless steels and Ni-based alloys, both with and without pre-ion irradiation. Skilled in advanced techniques like Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fu-Yun has supported graduate students in TEM sample preparation and trained them in indexing diffraction patterns and nanoscale analysis. With additional experience drafting proposals for major organizations, including AIST, NEUP, and NSF, and expertise in nano-mechanical testing with Bruker’s PI89 pico-indenter and FEI Titan TEM for high-resolution imaging, Fu-Yun continues to push the boundaries of materials science research.
