Transport in low-dimensional quantum materials
We study novel transport properties in 2D materials, including graphene, transitional metal dichalcogenides, h-BN, 2D superconductors, and so on. We use ultra-low temperatures (<10 mK) and high magnetic fields (>10 tesla) to flush out their exotic properties such as unconventional superconductivity, quantum anomalous Hall effect, and many-body ground states.
Lab-on-a-chip
We recently started a new field of utilizing state-of-the-art microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to achieve multi-DoF control of 2D materials, with capabilities that rivals scanning microscopes and yet are much cheaper, versatile, and precise.

Nanophotonics and Nonlinear Optics
We have a full optics lab with high power tunable pulsed lasers, where nonlinear optical effects, second-harmonic generation, photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and magnetic-optical Kerr effect could be measured.
