My primary research interests include Nanomagnetism and Quantum Spintronics with a focus on searching, fundamentally understanding and fabricating novel magnetic materials and quantum spintronic devices. Some of research programs in my group are listed as below.
To study magnetic materials with extremely high magnetic anisotropy, giant saturation magnetization, high spin polarization ratio and large spin-orbit torque and find new ways to make such materials applicable for future information storage and computing, biomedical and green energy technologies.
To design and apply nanomagnetic materials and spintronic devices for disease early detection and neuron stimulation and sensing.
To purse fundamental understanding of new spintronic phenomenon and design and fabricate novel spintronic devices such as spin-based memory, spin-based logic device and system and quantum computing bits and gates.
