Shuai Zhang's research activities emphasize the application of in-situ high-resolution high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the analysis of 3D Fast Force Mapping (3DFFM). This research aims to improve the understanding of the structure, dynamics, and functions of bio-macromolecular self-assembly at solid-liquid interfaces, as well as various inorganic materials such as minerals, clays, and oxides. His work further integrates observation-based simulations with deep learning techniques to adaptively control synthetic outcomes. Notably, Zhang's interests extend to studying the hydration layers of water and how they affect the properties of bio-macromolecules and their response to environmental stimuli. His current focus includes investigating the nanomechanical properties of superlattices and 2D van der Waals materials, further emphasizing their catalytic roles and contributions to functional atomic force microscopy.
