Overview of Academic Research

Long-term research focus on condensed matter physics, quantum materials, and surface/interface physics, with specialization in correlated electron systems, topological materials, low-dimensional quantum materials/ devices, and related physical phenomena. Published over 140 articles in leading international journals, including Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review X, and Advanced Materials, with citations exceeding 4,000. Committed to advancing the localization of high-end scientific instrumentation, having successfully developed multiple precision point-contact conductance spectroscopy/Andreev reflection spectroscopy systems and high-stability low-temperature high-magnetic-field scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) systems. Led a team in the independent R&D of ultra-low-temperature dilution refrigerators, achieving successful commercialization of these technological innovations.
