Professor, Ph.D. Supervisor, School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University. Recipient of a National Young Talent Program and the Jiangsu Provincial Distinguished Young Scholars Fund.

B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees were obtained from Nanjing University in 2005, 2008, and 2012, respectively. From 2012 to 2016, postdoctoral research was conducted at the University of Leeds and the University of Cambridge, UK. Appointed as Associate Professor at Nanjing University in October 2016 and promoted to full Professor in January 2022.

Research interests include terahertz programmable devices, terahertz spectroscopy, and superconducting electronic devices. Has led several national-level projects, including key programs of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. More than 30 SCI-indexed papers have been published as first or corresponding author in journals such as Nature Communications, Science Advances, Light: Science & Applications, and Optica.

Awards include“Zhang Xicheng” Award at the 11th International Symposium on Ultrafast Phenomena and Terahertz Waves (ISUPTW 2023) and the “Xiaomi Young Scholar – Science and Technology Innovation Award” of Nanjing University (2022).
