Dr Peng Wang (Microscopy group) has been named as a Highly Cited Researcher in the Clarivate's 2023 list.Link opens in a new window The researchers are those whose publications are most often cited in academic journals that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and year.

Peng's current research is focused on two main areas: the development of novel computational diffractive imaging techniques and the examination of atomic structures of materials across various fields. Peng has been developing novel transmission electron microscopy techniques and implementing them to examine atomic structures of materials in both physical and biological sciences. He has focused on the development of novel computational diffractive imagine techniques (ptychography, 4D STEM) and instruments. His group recently demonstrated the first experiment of cryogenic ptychographic biological imaging and pioneered the integration of ptychography and 3D reconstructions (single-particle analysis) in Cryo-EM.

Peng says: "I am truly honoured and humbled to be named on Clarivate's 2023 list of Highly Cited Researchers. This recognition reflects the dedication and collective efforts of my entire group. I am grateful for the opportunities to contribute to impactful research, and I look forward to continuing our pursuit of excellence in the field. I extend my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues and collaborators whose invaluable contributions have been crucial on this journey."
