ResumeI am an associate professor at the School of physics, Nankai University. My research area is condensed matter theory focusing on magnetism and spintronics. I am currently interested in the spin transport in magnetic insulators with spin textures such as spin spiral/cycloid, spin glass, spin liquid, skyrmion, etc.
Research FieldsMy main research field is Quantum Transport in Mesoscopic Systems. However, I am broadly interested in different directions in Condensed Matter Theory. Currently, my research interests focus on the identifications and applications of axion insulator and dynamic axion insulator, as well as spin transport in magnetic insulators with spin textures such as spin cycliod or spin spiral.
