Biography

Yujun Shi is a Professor at the University of Calgary specializing in Chemistry. Her research focuses on understanding chemical vapor deposition processes at the molecular level using laser analytical spectroscopic techniques. Shi explores the application of chemical vapor deposition methods to create semiconductor nanostructures, and examines thermal laser dewetting methods for metal nanoparticle formation. Additionally, her work investigates the structures, energetics, and dynamics of radicals and intermediates formed during hot wire chemical vapor deposition of semiconductor thin films. Shi's research efforts include understanding thin film dewetting processes and controlling metal nanoparticle formation. Furthermore, her group has developed innovative methods for producing metal nanoparticles, which include monometallic, bimetallic, and multi-metallic high-entropy-alloy nanoparticles. Through these studies, Shi aims to contribute significantly to the fields of material science and nanotechnology.
