Summary
Miao Tian is a research scientist based in Boulder with 11 years of experience specializing in nano/micro fabrication and energy storage/conversion, and seven years concentrated on hands-on research. She has deep expertise in advanced materials characterization (SEM/FIB/TEM) and thin-film deposition techniques (ALD, CVD, sputtering, electroplating), applied to projects that improved Li-ion battery lifetime and thermal ground plane heat transfer. Her work spans academic and collaborative environments, producing multiple first-authored publications and conference presentations while developing 3D templates and hybrid micro/nano structures that solved practical fabrication challenges like nanowire agglomeration. Trained with a PhD in Nanotechnology from CU Boulder and a background in applied physics, she combines rigorous experimental skill with a track record of translating nanoscale design into device-level performance gains. An understated strength is her ability to bridge microfabrication and electrochemical engineering to create mechanically robust, conductive architectures for high-power, long-cycle electrodes.
