Biography
- President of the Hong Kong Young Academy of Sciences
- Theoretical physicist specialized in electronic properties of quantum materials
- Make several predictions about the experimental signatures of topological superconductors, which have been widely tested by experimentalists around the world
- Discover Ising superconductors, which can retain their superconductivity under the strongest magnetic fields created in the laboratory, also identify one of the very few quantum spin liquids
- RFS project — to explore how quantum materials can be used to engineer new types of quantum processors for quantum computation, and help to develop nanoscale, energy efficient, electronic, spintronic and optical devices
- Awards and Honours:
- RGC Research Fellow (2020)
- Croucher Innovation Award (2015)
Project Title
- The Study of Novel Quantum Materials and their Applications
