HUANG Li

HUANG Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), where she has been since September 2019. She joined SUSTech in February 2013 as an Assistant Professor, advancing to her current rank. Her research focuses on quantum materials, novel energy materials, nonequilibrium phase selectivity, and surface/interfacial phenomena using first-principles computational methods and theoretical models.

Educational Background:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Fudan University (2006)
• M.Sc. in Physics, Xiangtan University (2002)
• B.A. in Physics, Xiangtan University (1999)

Research Interests span quantum materials (e.g., Moire superconductors, topological insulators), novel energy materials (e.g., thermoelectrics, supercapacitors), and surface/interfacial dynamics. Her recent work emphasizes two-dimensional systems, spin-valley-layer coupling, and nonequilibrium phase transitions in van der Waals heterostructures and metal-organic frameworks.

Publications highlight her expertise in ab initio molecular dynamics, density functional theory, and quantum transport. Key trends include Moiré engineering in twisted bilayers, strain-tunable magnetism, and ferroelectricity in layered materials.

Scientific Awards and Grants include leadership roles in projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Shenzhen Science & Technology Commission. Notable grants address quantum state control in Moiré superlattices, nonlinear Hall effects, and thermoelectric performance enhancement.

Professional Experience:

• Postdoctoral Research Associate at Ames Laboratory (2008–2012)
• Joint Postdoc at Georgia Institute of Technology & Ames Laboratory (2006–2008)
• Visiting Scholar at Harvard University & Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2004–2006)
