PhD Candidate in Physics | Tsinghua University
Biography
Hello! I am a PhD candidate in Physics at Tsinghua University, focusing on strongly correlated materials, particularly high-temperature superconductors. My previous research involved using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and tunneling spectroscopy to investigate their electronic properties. Currently, I am developing novel computational imaging techniques for scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and applying them to visualize 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 coding via MATLAB and Python. See my Github page for my customly developed TCMEP algorithms.
