Research Interests
The primary focus of our research is the exploration and understanding of a wide range of non-trivial phenomena triggered by spin currents, magnons, and spin textures, etc. We prioritize conducting experimental work that is both challenging and valuable from the perspectives of fundamental physics and practical application. Our work typically involves electrical or optical measurements at microwave frequencies with local or nonlocal geometries.
