Ruixing Zhang's Research Group

Theoretical Topological Quantum Matter @ UTK


Prospective Graduate Students are strongly encouraged to email the PI with a transcript and a CV before applying to the program~




We are a group of theorists who focused on understanding the topological properties of quantum materials and further utilizing them to design next-generation electronics and quantum computing devices.

Our research group is physically located at South College, the oldest on-campus building of the University of Tennessee, and the Institute of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (IAMM), one of the youngest off-campus research facilities.
