I am currently a postdoctoral associate at Cornell University, working with Professor Xiaomeng Liu. I received my Ph.D. in condensed matter physics at Wuhan University in 2024, working with Professor Chendong Zhang. I also received my B.S. in physics at Jilin University in 2017.
Research Interests
My research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics. Specifically, I am interested in exploring emergent quantum phenomena in low-dimensional materials and develop new ways to image, control, and engineer them.
My long-term vision is to bridge the gap between the mesoscopic behavior of quantum devices and its microscopic origins by combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy with simultaneous quantum transport measurements. Building on this platform, I aim to create and manipulate new quantum states using a complementary toolkit that includes van der Waals device assembly, electrostatic patterning, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), atomic-scale materials engineering, and external perturbations such as magnetic fields and microwaves.
