Research Interests
Experimental Condensed Matter and Materials Physics
My research interests are focused on the investigation of emergent phenomena and novel mechanism at complex oxide interfaces. We utilize the atomic-level controlled growth and characterization techniques to achieve high quality correlated oxide thin films such as colossal magnetoresistance, exotic superconductor etc. Our approach is to explore how to tune the material properties via dimensionality control and spatial confinement, in order to realize new state of matters that do not exist in bulk form.
