Introduction

Ning Wei received his Ph.D degree in physics of condensed matter from Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2009. He worked at Ningbo Institute of Material Science and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2009 to 2010, and then joined the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, High magnetic field laboratory, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has been a visiting scholar at the Department of Physics, Pennsylvania State University during 2019 to 2020. He has published more than 60 peer review articles in Nat. Commu. Phys. Rev. Lett., PNAS, Nano Lett., ACS Nano, Phys. Rev. B, Sci. Rep., Appl. Phys. Lett., etc. with the founds supported from the National Key R&D Program of China and National Natural Science Foundation of China.
His current research interests focus on the transport studies of topological materials under high magnetic fields, and the fabrication and tuning of low-dimensional quantum matter devices.
