Ph. D. in Physics, School of Physics, BIT, Sept. 2016 -Jul. 2020

Professional experience

Associate Professor, School of Physics, BIT, Beijing, China, Mar. 2023-Now
Postdoctoral Researcher, School of Physics, BIT, Beijing, China, Jul. 2020-Mar. 2023

Research Interests

I have been engaged in the research on the design and regulation of novel quantum functional materials. By examining the coupling of charge, spin, valley, topology, and other degrees of freedom and order parameters, I analyze their exceptional mechanical, thermal, optical, electrical, magnetic, and other properties. My focus is mainly on basic frontier science and technology fields, such as novel topological quantum states (topological insulators, topological semimetals, etc.) and low-dimensional quantum functional materials (two-dimensional heterojunctions, magnetic semiconductors, valley materials, etc.).
