Xin Gui

Xin Gui is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. His research focuses on quantum materials, including superconductors, magnetic topological materials, and quantum spin liquids. He leads the Quantum-Gui Lab, which emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining solid-state chemistry, physics, materials science, and electrical engineering. The lab explores synthesis, characterization, and applications of quantum materials in technologies like quantum computing and catalysis. Key experimental techniques include solid-state synthesis, X-ray/neutron diffraction, and density-functional theory calculations.

Recent work highlights include investigations into surface-functionalized diamond for quantum sensing, unconventional superconductivity in monolayer WTe2, and crystallographic disorder in rare-earth compounds. Gui's group collaborates extensively with institutions like Princeton University (Cava Lab) and has published in top journals such as PNAS, Nature Physics, and Advanced Materials.

Lab facilities include advanced characterization tools for structural and magnetic analysis. Gui actively recruits graduate students interested in novel material design and real-world applications. Current efforts emphasize bridging fundamental quantum phenomena with practical engineering solutions in quantum technologies.
