"To grow with the flourish of the university; to accomplish goals by supporting each other."
Biography
Dr. Wu received his B.S. and M.S. from Fudan University and received his Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from the University of California at Berkeley. He did his Postdoctoral research at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the USA. Since 2012, he became an Assistant Physicist at the oxide-MBE group at Brookhaven National Laboratory of USA. Then he was promoted to be an Associate Physicist and later a Physicist. In Sep 2019, he joined the Physics Department of Westlake University.
Research
Dr. Wu’s research focuses on emergent phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems by exfoliating complementary experimental techniques, such as oxide molecular beam epitaxy, nanofabrication, low temperature transport measurements, magneto-optical measurements etc. He has accomplished a series of influential works on high temperature superconductivity and nanomagnetism, including the illustration of electronic nematicity in the normal state of copper oxide superconductors and Ruthenate superconductors, the abnormal independence of superconducting temperature on the carrier density in interface superconducting heterostructures, the presence of the charge cluster glass state in the insulator-to-superconductor quantum phase transition, and the first photo of the antiferromagnetic vortex induced in ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic bilayer.
Dr. Wu’s research group at Westlake University is motivated to study the superconducting mechanisms of various types of unconventional superconductors and their interplay with magnetism in the hope of discovering more functional quantum materials for superconducting and spintronics applications.
