He is the director of the York University-Nanjing University Joint Center in Spintronics and NanoEngineering, and “Qiangren” professor of Nanjing University and guest professor of several other Chinese universities.
His research has been focussed on the fabrication and characterisation of magnetic nanostructures and nanodevices, and in particular magnetic/semiconductor hybrid materials and more recently 2D materials (e.g., Topological Insulators) for spintronics. He has published more than 200 refereed papers in leading academic journals including Physical Review Letters, Nature Communications, Scientific Reports, Nano Letter, Advanced Materials, ACS Nano, Applied Physics Letters and IEEE journals and given many invited talks/seminars at major international conferences including MRS, WUNSPIN, EMN and Intermag.

I joined the York Spintronics Group in York in Oct 2015. My main research is using the atomistic/micromagnetic model to study the magnetism dynamics. And my research interests are skyrmion dynamics, skyrmion based device and spintronic neuron device.
