PRESENTING MYSELF (自我介紹)

Before joining NSYSU, I held the position of an assistant professor at IMRAM, Tohoku University, where I was involved in the Quantum Liquid Crystals project. In addition, I serve as an adjunct beamline scientist overseeing one-third of user proposals at GPTAS (4G) General-Purpose Triple-Axis Spectrometer located at JRR-3, Tokai. I am privileged to be the first foreign individual granted the license to independently operate the GPTAS at JRR-3. I possess a strong proficiency in precisely aligning the spectrometer to ensure optimal conditions before conducting neutron experiments. Furthermore, I am skilled in accurately aligning single crystal and determining magnetic structure.

I obtained my bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees from National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) in Taiwan (2008.09 ~ 2017.01). Since my undergraduate years in 2010, I have been involved in the low-temperature physics laboratory under the guidance of Prof. Hung-Duen Yang (Former President of NSYSU and former Minister of Science and Technology). My research primarily focuses on the Skyrmion and multiferroic properties in spin-frustrated systems such as Cu2OSeO3, Cu2OCl2, and Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2Cl. During this period, I conducted several interesting studies, resulting in publications as the first author in prestigious journals. such as Sci. Rep. 5, 13579 (2015), J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 48, 475001 (2015), Phys. Rev. B 95, 125121 (2017), J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 50, 265002 (2017), and Mater. Today Phys. 8, 34 (2019). These research contributions allowed me to receive the "2017 Ph. D. Thesis Awards of NSYSU" and the "2017 Ph. D. Thesis Awards of Taiwanese Physical Society".

Following my Ph. D., I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow for a three-year contract (Military Services on Research and Development Substitute) at NSYSU. During this period, I was granted a "Postdoctoral Fellowship to Study Abroad" from the Ministry of Science and Technology, which allowed me to visit the University of Houston (UH), USA, and work in Prof. Ching-Wu Chu's (Former President of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Honorary Chancellor, Taiwan Comprehensive University System, renowned worldwide scientist) high-pressure low-temperature lab from 2018 to 2019. My focus during that time was on studying the effects of extremely high pressure on magnetism, and I achieved significant research findings published as a first author in journals such as Phys. Rev. B 100, 245119 (2019), Mater. Today Phys. 12, 100189 (2020), PNAS 117, 8783 (2020), Phys. Rev. B 102, 075130 (2020), and Phys. Rev. B 103, 104111 (2021).

To expand my international experience and delve into the determination of magnetic structures in strongly correlated magnetic materials, I decided to join the neutron group at Tohoku University as a postdoctoral fellow under the guidance of Prof. Taku J. Sato in December 2020. Prof. Taku J Sato has a distinguished career spanning over 30 years in the field of neutron scattering science. Additionally, he has played a crucial role as the president of the Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA). Since then, I have acquired knowledge of experimental and analytical methods and developed an understanding of neutron scattering physics, particularly in the field of magnetic structure determination. This training has provided me with unique skills, especially in the context of Taiwan. An intriguing research discovery as the first author or corresponding author published in J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 584, 171054 (2023) and Phys. Rev. B 108, 115163 (2023). Furthermore, I have accumulated extensive experience in conducting neutron experiments and crafting proposal submissions at renowned neutron facilities such as JRR3, J-PARC, ORNL, and ANSTO.

Through these research experiences, I have accumulated profound knowledge in basic low-temperature physics and strongly correlated electron systems. Along the way, I have learned and mastered techniques such as the synthesis of polycrystalline samples using solid-state reactions, arc melting, and induction heating methods. I am also skilled in growing single crystals through flux and chemical vapor transportation methods. In terms of characterization, I have expertise in utilizing techniques such as x-ray diffraction, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, and neutron scattering. Furthermore, I have explored the physical properties of materials using instruments such as the Magnetic Property Measurement System, Physical Property Measurement System, and conducted measurements related to magnetization, dielectric properties, polarization, magnetoelectric, piezomagnetic, and high-pressure effects.
