Dr. Jiang is an experimental physicist. He got his Master degree in Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, working on the design of a scanning electron acoustic microscope (SEAM) and its application to various materials evaluation. This work led to the commercialization of the SEAM equipment. Later he did his Ph. D in Institute of Applied Physics, University of Tsukuba, Japan. During his graduate studies in Japan, he used various experimental techniques of Raman and Brillouin scattering spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy to study novel ferroelectric materials-relaxor ferroelectrics. He worked as a postdoc for several research groups in Cornell University, Lehigh University, and Princeton University. He is now working with Professor Tom Duffy on high-pressure mineral physics. He is focused on using Brillouin scattering technique to study elasticity of minerals and materials of fundamental physical interest under high pressure.
