We are always open to welcoming graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who are interested in scientific research and willing to dedicate their time and enthusiasm to join our team. We strive to provide a supportive, open, and collaborative research environment. Our group focuses on developing new methods and techniques in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to investigate key scientific questions in high-temperature superconductors and topological superconductors. At present, the intersection of topology and superconductivity is driving new scientific breakthroughs. We sincerely invite motivated young researchers to join us in exploring these frontiers and contributing to the advancement of fundamental physics.
