Han Wu

Han Wu is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania, within the College of Arts & Sciences. His research focuses on condensed matter physics, materials science, and topological insulators, with a particular emphasis on electronic structure, magnetism, and quantum materials. His work explores phenomena such as flat bands, topological phase transitions, and ferromagnetic behavior in van der Waals materials and kagome lattices.

Education:

• PhD in Physics from Rice University

Research Interests:

• Topological materials and phase transitions
• Flat band physics and correlated electronic systems
• Van der Waals ferromagnets and spintronics applications
• Magnetic ordering and electronic reconstruction in novel materials

His studies often involve advanced techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and surface engineering to probe material properties at atomic and electronic levels.

Key trends in his recent work include investigations into room-temperature ferromagnetic materials, topological surface state evolution in topological insulators like Bi2Se3, and the interplay between electronic structure and magnetic behavior in layered and quasi-1D systems. His research bridges fundamental physics and potential applications in next-generation electronics and spin-based technologies.
