Personal Profile

He received his Bachelor's and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from Fudan University in 2014 and 2019, respectively. In the same year, he joined the State Key Laboratory of Precision Spectroscopy at East China Normal University. His research focuses on experimental topological physics, and development of strong magnetic field infrared spectroscopy techniques.


His representative work includes the discovery of 1D Weyl fermions, 3D van Hove singularities, and the 3D quantum Hall effect. He has authored 9 representative papers as first or corresponding author, including 1 in Nature, 2 in Nature Materials, 3 in Nature Communications, and 1 each in Advanced Science, National Science Review, and Science Bulletin. He has led numerous projects, including the National Key R&D Program, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and International Cooperation Programs. His accolades include being selected as an MIT Technology Review "Innovators Under 35," and Junhao Young Scientist Award.
