I am an assistant scientist in Materials Science Division at Argonne National Laboratory. Prior to Argonne I have obtained my Ph. D. from Columbia University in 2015, followed by a two-year postdoc in Service de Physique de l'Etat Condensé (SPEC), CEA Saclay, France in 2015-2017, and another four-year postdoc at Argonne in 2017-2021 (first two years joint with Oakland University at Rochester, MI)

My primarily research interests are on hybrid magnonics which explore how the fundamental excitation in magnetic materials, or magnons, interact with other type of excitations such as microwave, optical light, acoustic wave, etc. Particularly, our lab develops on-chip magnon-superconducting-resonator hybrid circuits for high-performance coherent magnon control, including metallic magnetic thin film devices (PRL2019), single-crystal YIG spheres (PRL2022), along with time-domain control of magnon interference (Nature Comm 2025). The system exhibits ultrahigh magnon and superconducting cavity quality factor, and is potential for building hybrid magnonic systems with state-of-the-art high performance, lithographic control of the microwave and magnon elements, and compatible with on-chip superconducting qubit integration. The research is potential for developing quantum magnonic system which integrate magnons in quantum information science. We are targeting the following three potentials of quantum magnonics: 1) to develop on-chip quantum isolators using the intrinisic nonreciprocity of magnons; 2) to develop magnon-based microwave-to-optic quantum transducers; 3) to develop magnon quantum sensing for dark matter detections.

Our lab also works in other hybrid magnonic systems, such as magnon-magnon coupling, magnon-phonon coupling, magnon-light coupling, etc. In addition, I also have a broad research interest in magnonics, spintronics and superconductivity, such as ferromagnetic resonance, spin pumping, spin-torque oscillators, YIG delay lines, and superconducting vortices and kinetic inductance.
