During his doctoral research, he focused on exploring emergent phenomena of topological quantum materials. For example, he discovered topology-driven electron transport (e.g. Loop Hall effect) and collective magnetism (e.g. chiral/spiral magnetic textures induced by Weyl-mediated RKKY interactions) in non-centrosymmetric magnetic Weyl semimetals (RAlX, R=rare-earths and X=Ge/Si). These findings have an impact because despite that the non-trivial band topology has been widely observed using spectroscopic techniques, their unique consequences - topology-driven observables - are rarely found. He works extensively on the electronic transport of topological materials, including extreme magnetoresistance in rare-earth monopnictides, anomalous Hall effect in Weyl semimetals, and extremely high conductivity in coupled electron-phonon liquid (NbGe2 and related materials).

His postdoctoral research at UCLA delves further into the interplay among topology, magnetism, and superconductivity. As an example, he engineered the first Josephson junction made of two 2D flakes of Fe(Te,Se), a material candidate for topological superconductors. Assembling Fe(Te,Se) into such a novel device structure while maintaining a high-quality junction interface allows him to probe the coexistence of surface ferromagnetism and superconductivity, as evidenced by the zero-field supercurrent diode effect across the junction. This finding supports that Fe(Te,Se) satisfies the symmetry requirements for Majorana states at zero field. He also works on advancing the performance of supercurrent diodes via new material design. His recent work integrates a 2D multiferroic between two superconductors into a Josephson junction, which serves as a field-resilient supercurrent diode with the field working range meeting the industrial standard for the first time.

He has authored and co-authored over 25 research papers in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, etc. Beyond scientific research, he actively serves the scientific community as an APS Career Mentoring Fellow (2024), lead abstract sorter (2025), invited speaker (2022, 2024), and session chair (2023) of APS March Meeting, and reviewer for international journals (Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, Nature Communications, etc.) and government funding agencies.
