MILES Seminar - Prof. Qi Qian
Dr. Qi QIAN is an Assistant Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. She conducted postdoctoral research at UCLA with Prof. Xiangfeng Duan and earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University with Prof. Michael Manfra. Focused on quantum transport in novel materials/devices, she has published > 10 first/corresponding author papers in Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, and Nature Communications. Honors include MIT Technology Review s Innovators under 35 (Asia Pacific), National High-Level Overseas Young Talent, MRS Postdoctoral Award, UCLA Chancellor s Award for Postdoctoral Research, and the Lark-Horovitz Prize in Physics.
In this talk, she will show several unique methods using the novel vdW integration approach, where atomically flat interfaces can be achieved between various systems through vdW interaction, and can be extended to multiple layers forming high-order superlattice structures. They enable a series quantum observation. What' more, she will also discuss the exciting opportunities of vW integration for creating new artificial quantum solids with designable chemical compositions, dimensionality, interlayer distances and structure motifs, which open brand new platforms for both fundamental studies and quantum technologies.
