Short Biography:　

Dr. Jian Wang is a Qiantang Professor at Peking University. He developed two laboratories at Peking University to perform ultralow temperature-high magnetic field transport measurements and ultralow temperature-high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy-molecular beam epitaxy investigations. Dr. Jian Wang’s current research interests are physical properties of low dimensional superconductors and topological materials. He has discovered a series of emergent quantum phase transitions and quantum states in both low-dimensional superconductors and topological materials, including quantum Griffiths singularity, bosonic anomalous (quantum) metal state, topological zero energy bound states, pair density wave states and higher-charge superconductivity in two-dimensional superconductors, as well as log-periodic quantum oscillations, high-Chern-number and high-temperature Chern insulator states in topological materials. Dr. Jian Wang authored around 150 papers in Science, Nature, Nature Physics, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, Science Advances, Nature Communications, PNAS, Physical Review X, Physical Review Letters, etc. He has given more than 100 invited talks and was awarded Sir Martin Wood China Prize in 2015, Changjiang Distinguished Professor of China's Ministry of Education in 2016, Outstanding Achievement Award for Research in Institutes of Higher Education of China (Young Scientists) in 2019, the Achievement in Asia Award (Robert T. Poe Prize) in 2022, and the First Prize in Natural Sciences of Beijing in 2024.
