About Me

I received my Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree from School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tianjin University of Technology in 2023 (Supervisor: Prof. Yukai An). Now, I am a Ph.D. student from the School of Engineering at Westlake University. I am currently enrolled in the Zhejiang University-Westlake University joint Ph.D. program (Supervisor: Dr. Naizhou Wang).

I won the Mingli Scholarship (10 candidates whole school each year), Tianjin Innovation and Entrepreneurship Scholarship for Undergraduate, Tianjin Government Scholarship for Undergraduate and so on.

I also won the First Prize of the 18^th "Challenge Cup" National College Student Curricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition and the Grand Prize of the 17^th "Challenge Cup" Tianjin City College Student Curricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition.

Research Interests

Since its discovery in 2007, the topological insulator has become a hot new topic in condensed matter physics and has been considered the “Next Big Thing” after graphene (Nobel Prize in Physics 2010). It is of great value for the understanding of fundamental physics as well as for applications in semiconductor devices. In 2016, David J. Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their theoretical discovery of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter.

Nowadays, physicists all over the world are actively exploring how to take advantage of new degrees of freedom (e.g., electron spin, energy valleys) and new ordered states of matter (quantum Hall states, topological insulators, etc.) to achieve more sensitive information sensing and efficient information storage, transmission, and processing techniques.

Based on this, We will focus on...
