Peng received his Ph.D. from Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (supervised by Prof. Weihua Wang) studying the relaxation dynamics of metallic glasses and physical vapor deposition of ultrastable metallic glasses. During the postdoctoral research at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Peng worked on the excitation and relaxation dynamics of glass formers and aqueous solutions of salts employing neutron spectroscopy, he also studied on ion irradiation for metallic glass surface modification and patterning. At the University of Pennsylvania, Peng’s research will focus on physical vapor deposition of ultrastable molecular glasses. His experimental expertise includes dynamics, thermodynamics and structure characterizations using dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, physical property measurement system, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; universal mechanical testing systems and nanoindentation; ion beam irradiation and deposition; X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy and neutron scattering.
