Welcome, Bo Zhang!
Qiong has been awarded the ACS PRF Doctoral New Investigator (DNI) Award. Congrats!
“The Doctoral New Investigator grants program aims to promote the careers of young faculty by supporting research of high scientific caliber.”
We are honored to join the MURI research program on Topological Flat Bands for Correlated Electron Systems. We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with all members of the team and look forward to working together.
Qiong has been awarded the IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize in Low-Temperature Physics. Congrats!
“This prize recognizes the contributions of early career physicists in low-temperature physics. It is given to three awards internationally over three years.”
Qiong has been awarded the 2023 Sloan Fellowship. Congrats!
A Sloan Research Fellowship is one of the most prestigious awards available to young researchers, in part because so many past fellows have gone on to become towering figures in science, including 56 Nobel laureates.

Our paper “Photocurrent as a Multi-Physics Diagnostic Tool for Quantum Materials” with collaborators Roshan Krishna Kumar, Su-Yang Xu, Frank H.L. Koppens, and Justin C. W. Song has been published in Nature Reviews Physics. Congrats!
This technical review highlights the essential principles of photocurrent diagnostics, which are used for various purposes such as resolving band structure, characterizing topological materials, differentiating various types of carrier scattering ranging from femtosecond to nanosecond timescales, and enabling new types of remote-sensing protocols and photocurrent nanoscopy.
We are thrilled to be part of the NSF Convergence Accelerator team on Sustainable Topological Energy Materials!
Over the past decade, topological materials have emerged as a promising area of research, with numerous lab-scale demonstrations of electronic and spintronic devices with no energy dissipation, next-generation photovoltaic and photodetectors, and high-efficiency waste recovery, among other applications. However, progress in the industrialization and mass production of these materials beyond the lab scale has been slow.
Through this program, our team aims to foster joint academic-industrial collaboration to increase the role of topological materials in creating a cleaner, low-carbon world. We are excited about the opportunity to work with other experts in this field and contribute to advancing topological materials.
