Professor WAN, Zhong

Current Research

• We aim to design novel quantum materials and devices to exploit their unique quantum transport properties at low temperature. We have a paricular focus on organic-inorganic hybrid systems.

Research Interest

• Condensed matter experiments

• 2D materials

• Strongly correlated system

• Low temperature quantum transport
