Hi there, welcome to my personal website!
I have completed my BEng degree in Materials Physics, from the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), China (2013 - 2017). During the last year of my undergraduate, I got a chance to spend a wonderful time on a research internship project in the Prof. Ming Liu’s group, in the Institute of Microelectronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMECAS).
Then my academic journey was started.
I kept on pursuing the PhD degree in Skyrmionics team, part of the Nano Engineering and Spintronic Technologies (NEST) Group in the University of Manchester, UK (Sep. 2017 – Dec. 2021). My project is supervised by Prof. Jim Miles and Dr. Christoforos Moutafis.
The research interests lay in the theoretical & computational studies of magnetic skyrmions (what’s magnetic skyrmion? [1]), and vary between many topics, e.g. skyrmion/antiskyrmion switching in chiral magnets [2], 3D dynamics and the energy landscapes of switching processes [3], roughness effect on the stability of skyrmionic textures in multilayer structures [4], ferromagnetic resonance, skyrmion-based devices for neuromorphic computing [5], etc.
I’m also having board collaborations with many people working on experiments, including people in our NEST group @Manchester, ETH Zurich, and Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).
