About Sam Mao
I am AI scientist developing agentic tools on micrographs and videos for characterization at multi-length/time scales. My projects are funded by private sectors and US gov. My specific expertise focused on microstructure characterization and small-scale mechanical testing on superconduting and soft materials including in-situ SEM/TEM on alloys, ceramics and composites etc. under extreme conditions.

Probing the nanostructure of fission products in oxide fuels using machine learning
Ceramic oxides in extreme environments degragate with complicated microstructural and microchemical changes. This work provides a machine-learning approach that fastens and expands the processing of large analytical microscopy data volumes approaching the atomistic-scale precision.
