BiographyBAO Wei obtained his B.S. in Astrophysics from Peking University in 1983, his M.S. from Institute of Theoretical Physics - Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1986, and his Ph.D. in Physics from The Johns Hopkins University in 1995. He worked as a consultant in AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill in 1994 and performed his Postdoctoral research in Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1995 to 1998 before joining the Technical Staff of Los Alamos National Laboratory. He was a Distinguished University Professor at Renmin University of China in Beijing from 2009 to 2019.
Prof. BAO was nominated a?Fellow of American Physical Society in 2012 by?Division of Condensed Matter Physics "for neutron scattering studies of the magnetic structure and spin dynamics of highly correlated electron systems".
Qualifications/ExperiencesNeutron Scattering, Strongly Correlated Electron Systems, Condensed Matter Physics
Research Interests/AreasUsing elastic and inelastic neutron scattering as the main research tool, Prof. BAO has investigated frontier issues of correlated electronic phenomena in condensed matter, including the Mott metal-insulator transition, giant magnetoresistivity, orbital ordering, re-entrant spin-glass state, itinerant antiferromagnetism, low-dimensional quantum antiferromagnetism and unconventional superconductivity in heavy-fermion, cuprate and iron-based materials, often under extreme condition at low temperature, high pressure and high magnetic field.
He has also led the design and construction of a suite of innovative cold-neutron inelastic spectrometers at China Advanced Research Reactor in Beijing.
Services in CityUCityU Senate and Court
Services outside CityUProf. BAO has served in the Executive Committees on Low Temperature Physics,?X-ray Diffraction, and?Neutron Scattering of Chinese Physical Society.
He is a member of the Academic Committees of the?Key Laboratory of Neutron Physics of Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics, China Spallation Neutron Source and National Laboratory for Superconductivity of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He also advises Ministry of Education of P.R.China in its Committee on Science and Technology.
