Research Achievement

Since 2011, he has been engaged in the study of the interaction between light and matter in low-dimensional quantum materials, proposing a series of new methods for the regulation of nano light sources and revealing a new mechanism of optical topological transformation. In 2020, together with three other research groups in the world, we realized the real space imaging of optical topology transformation on the nanoscale for the first time, and extended the concept of "magic Angle" from electronics to photonics (promoting the development of the new field of "Angle photonics"). The relevant achievements together with the "Nine chapters" quantum computer won the 2021 Falling Walls International Cross-border Innovative Scientific Breakthrough Award. Several academic papers were awarded the Most Valuable Paper of the Year award by the Royal Physical Society of Spain, selected papers by Nature Communications, and reported by the 90th anniversary Science issue of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A number of achievements have been reported by mainstream media such as Phys.org and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and in 2022, it was interviewed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Science and Technology Review for the design of a new nano optical cavity.
He has published more than 30 papers, including Nature Materials, Nature Communications (3 papers), Science Advances (3 papers), Advanced Materials (5 papers), Nano Letters, Related Reviews include Nature Reviews Physics, ACS photonics, Advances in Physics X, and more. A longtime Nature/Nature Materials/Nature Communications/Science Advances/Physical Review Letters/Nanoscale/Physical Review B Invited reviewers of international journals and project review experts of the Polish National Science Foundation. In 2022, he was selected into the National high-level Young Talents and the Special Young Scholars Program of Beijing Institute of Technology.
