Students in Spotlight

Supervised by Hanghui Chen, Assistant Professor of Physics at NYU Shanghai, Zhiwei Liu, a Ph.D. candidate of the NYU Shanghai-ECNU Joint Graduate Training Program participated in a recent research project that found an effective way to manipulate Berry curvature in a quantum material named SrRuO3. The results found by the research team appeared in a recent issue of the internationally renowned journal PNAS and mark an important contribution to our understanding of the unique electronic properties of quantum materials.

Ma Ou, a graduate student at the NYU-ECNU Joint Graduate Training Program, participated in a study which was published in eNeuro, an open-access, online journal by the Journal of Neuroscience on the effects of examining the ways in which the imagination affects cognition. Ou’s advisor Xing Tian (corresponding author) is an Associate Professor of Neural and Cognitive Sciences at NYU Shanghai.
