Faculty
The major direction of my research is theoretical condensed matter physics. I mainly focus on the quantum transport phenomena in two-dimensional materials, topological materials, magnetic and superconducting systems. Currently, my main research interests are: the nonlinear responses, quantum geometry effects and the quantum transports in correlated systems.
