His studies on the <strong>microcantilever dynamics<\/strong> in AFM have enabled the imaging of <strong>soft materials<\/strong> and <strong>solid-liquid<\/strong> interfaces with <strong>atomic <\/strong>or<strong> molecular scale<\/strong> resolutions.&nbsp; &nbsp;RG has pioneered the field of <strong>multifrequency<\/strong> AFM and founded the multifrequency conference series. He is the inventor of <strong>bimodal AFM<\/strong>, which is the fastest method for material property characterization at the nanoscale. He has also contributed to the development and applications of&nbsp; <strong>scanning probe lithography<\/strong>. Currently, RG pioneers the development <strong>3D AFM <\/strong>to characterize <strong>solid-liquid<\/strong> interfaces.
