Research Focus
Before joining the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Mei Shen performed postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Shigeru Amemiya at the University of Pittsburgh, where she successfully imaged ion flux across a single nanopore in an aqueous environment using nano-resolved scanning electrochemical microscopy. Her current research interests interface nanoscience, electrochemistry, and neuroscience, with a focus on neurotransmission at nanobiological structures, such as the single synaptic cleft.
