Research Interests
My research interests focus on exploring and studying novel quantum phenomena in lowdimensional quantum materials, such as 2D van der Waals
materials and their moiré superlattices. I have co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed scientific research papers. I am the first author or corresponding
author for 15 papers, including 3 in Nature, 1 in Nature Physics, 3 in Nature Materials, 1 in Nature Nanotechnology, 2 in Physical Review X, and 2 in
Physical Review Letters.
