• Comment: Likely notable as an academic, but insufficient sourcing for a BLP and needs massive cleanup before it's a fit for mainspace. Star Mississippi 20:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Huolin Xin is a tenured Professor in the School of Physics at U.C. Irvine and scientific leader in the fields of transmission electron microscopy and electrochemistry. His research has resulted in more than 250 peer-reviewed publications and several patents. He was awarded the prestigious Burton Medal (2021)[1] and the DOE Early Career Award (2020)[2]. Before moving to UCI as a professor, Dr. Xin worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory as a principle investigator. His scientific expertise focuses primarily on exploiting novel physics in electron microscopy to discover new properties in the behavior and chemistry of materials. His techniques span innovative data science and physics of electron-matter interaction to achieve 3-D, atomic-resolution, and in situ spectroscopic and imaging tools.

The Xin lab's research in electrochemistry and batteries[3] include energy material sythesis combined with tomographic and atomic-resolution chemical imaging of battery and fuel cell materials[4] [5]. His lab currently produces high-tech cathode materials used by leading battery manufactures for small batch testing standards and development[6]. In alignment with ARPA-E objectives aimed at fostering a circular economic model, Princeton NuEnergy (PNE), Huolin Xin's lab is pioneering the development of sodium-ion batteries by utilizing plasma-assisted spray granulation (PSG) for rapid and cost-effective Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) cathode production.
