Research Areas:
I am an experimentalist of Condensed Matter Physics. The focus of my research interest is on strongly correlated electronic systems including unconventional superconductivity, magnetism, heavy-fermion materials, quantum phase transition and quantum critical point, and topological materials. In my lab, we use electrical/thermal transport, magnetic and thermodynamic properties measurements, in combination with all kinds of quantum controlling like physical pressure, chemical doping, high magnetic field, and uniaxial strain to tune the physical properties. We also do nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to study spin dynamics of these materials.
Students and postdoc positions:
My group accepts 1-2 Ph. D students and some master students every year. Undergraduate students who want to complete their dissertations are also welcome to join us.
The postdoc positions are open for all seasons. Young scientists with techniques of material synthesis, transport measurements, and NMR et al. are welcome to contact me!
