▍Research Interest

1. Synthesis of complex oxides of copper, nickel, bismuth, and cobalt to enable incisive new experiments aimed at understanding their exceptional properties, including high-temperature superconductivity, electronic nematicity, strange-metal transport, and scaling of superfluid density with the critical temperature. 

   
   

2. Stabilization of high-temperature superconducting phases in nickelates and hydrides, so far only observed in microscopic samples at extreme pressure, in large-area thin films at ambient pressure, to open a series of new basic physics experiments as well as electronics applications.

   
   

3. Discovery and study of novel states of condensed matter, including new type of charge-density waves, quantized electronic nematicity, and bosonic metals.

   
   

4. Fabrication and study of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) devices (Josephson junctions and nanowire single-photon detectors) as the basic building blocks for HTS neuromorphic computing for AI that can surpass human brain capacity in low-power, desktop-size units, promising enormous market and the potential to transform the world.
