PhD Candidate in Physics | Tsinghua University
Biography
Hey there! I'm currently working towards my PhD in Physics at Tsinghua University, and I'm really enjoying it. My research is all about strongly correlated materials, especially high-temperature superconductors. Before that, I did some really cool research using scanning tunnelling microscopy and tunnelling spectroscopy to study these amazing materials. I'm now looking at developing novel computative imaging techniques to visualise things using scanning transmission electron microscopy, and I'm also applying these to studying local structural defects in quantum materials.
Research Interests
-
High-temperature superconductivity: How do electrons interact in cuprates and nickelates?
-
Scanning transmission electron microscopy: Visualizing structures at atomic level
-
Multislice electron ptychography: GPU-accelerated solution to phase-retrieving of electrons
Technical Skills
-
Experimental: Electron microscopy; fabricating 2D material heterostructures; cryogenic transport measurements, ...
-
Programming: My research relies heavily on MATLAB coding. See my Github page for my customly developed TCMEP algorithms.
