Current Research

Research Highlight

Our group focuses on the atomic-scale design and characterization of novel quantum materials and the exploration of quantum phenomena towards next-generation quantum technologies. Leveraging advanced atomic-scale characterization techniques and artificial intelligence, we also develop atomic materials and atomically precise catalytic technologies. Our mission is to overcome key bottlenecks in their practical applications, from energy-efficient quantum devices to sustainable manufacturing.
