Postdoctoral researcher
Dr Wu received his B.S. degree in Physics from Jilin University and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His research focuses on the electronic band structures of superconductors.

Postdoctoral researcher
Dr Hong received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu and his Ph.D. degree in Physics from Fudan University. His research focuses on complex photoemission phenomena in quantum materials.
Postdoctoral researcher
Dr Wu earned his PhD at the Institute for Advanced Study at Tsinghua University under Prof. Hong Yao. He studies novel phases and critical points in quantum many-body systems, including generalized symmetries, long-range entanglement, topological order and unconventional superconductivity in flat-band systems.
