The applicant has long been focused on the investigation of novel physical (quantum) properties and functionality of strongly correlated electron systems, mainly including: 1) studied the strain-engineering of correlated topological phases in pyrochlore iridates, and reported a novel quantum state named “correlated magnetic Weyl semimetal”; 2) discovered novel 3d1 superconductivity；3) reported the ultra-flat and long-lived plasmons in the strongly correlated oxide system, which prior to other reported systems; 4) demonstrated the relation between the electronic correlation effect (band structure) and HER activity in strongly correlated oxides, which can be an unambiguous descriptor for exploring high-performance oxide-based catalysts; 5) successfully fabricated an efficient room-temperature long-wavelength mid-infrared photodetector, whose photoresponse is two orders higher than that of the commercial ones.  The applicant has published more than 50 SCI papers with a total citation of more than 3000 times. As the first/corresponding author, the applicant has published several high-impact journal papers, including Nature Communications (4), Advanced Materials (2), Advanced Functional Materials (3), SMALL, NPG Asia Materials, Chemistry of Materials. Based on condensed matter physics and materials science, the applicant is going to further study the emergent (quantum) physical properties and applications of strongly correlated transition metal oxides.
