My research interest is in the Quantum spin hall effect and Topological insulator. I have been the Undergraduate RA since my sophomore year, working on the research on Wide Aperture Exoplanet Telescope and the research on 2D semiconductor materials. My strength are very robust theoretical knowledge and strong experimental and analytical skills, which are cultivated through my self-study during the process of the projects. I am a fast learner and active researcher. My goal is to be a research fellow sharing my ideas and resources with the people in common research interests.

06/2017-04/2019 Electroluminescence & Photocurrent Generation from InSe-GaSe Heterojunction
Cleveland, Ohio Research Assistant, Supervisor: Prof. XuanGao
Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University
The research aimed to investigate electron transport properties of InSe/GaSe heterostructures through DC transport measurements, give insight into transport mechanisms in 2D van der Waal semiconductor heterostructures, and highlight the importance of band alignment in these heterostructure device
Transferred GaSe on/under InSe to fabricate the device and then did metal deposition using Ni/Ag to improve contacts with the metal electrodes
Tested the device at room temperature and used PPMS(Physical Property Measurement System) for temperature measurements down to 1.2k and magnetic field strength up 5-10T, and observed its quantum effects
Collected the data from above experiments and analyzed the data with OringinLab
02/2017-03/2018Wide Aperture Exoplanet Telescope
Cleveland, Ohio Research Assistant, Supervisor: Prof.Benjamin Monreal
Department of Physics, Case Western Reserve University
Aimed to design a fully-steerable telescope on a low-rise mount with a fixed gravity vector on key components
Designed a low-cost configuration for a 100+ meter ground-based telescope using Zemax and analyzed its optical properties
Drew the structure of the entire telescope system using Solidworks
Assisted in analyzing the forces of components in the overall structure
