Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHao Chen is a project scientist and surface-physics experimentalist with a decade of experience probing catalytic materials using synchrotron and UHV techniques. He has held postdoctoral positions at Berkeley Lab, TU Wien and Stanford, where his work resolved metal–support interactions, identified active catalytic phases (Pt–Fe, CoOx–Au), and tracked oxidation dynamics from UHV to near-ambient pressures. Now at SLAC he is bridging photon-science and AI/ML in the DOE ISAAC project to accelerate autonomous experiments and analysis pipelines. Skilled in AP-XPS, XAS, STXM, NAP-/low-temperature STM, and nanoparticle characterization (SEM/TEM/STEM, DRIFTS, GC), he also contributes to building and maintaining UHV instrumentation. Hao combines deep hands-on surface science with emerging data-driven methods—an unusual mix that helps translate nanoscale observations into faster, more reproducible light-source experiments.
