BiographyDr Danfeng Li obtained his B.Eng. from Zhejiang University and M.Phil. from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (advisor: Prof Ji-yan Dai). Shortly after earning his Ph.D. (2016) in the Department of Quantum Matter Physics at University of Geneva (advisor: Prof Jean-Marc Triscone), Dr Li joined Stanford University as a Swiss National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow, working with Prof Harold Hwang. He has been an Assistant Professor at CityU from November 2020. Dr Li's main research interests span across condensed-matter physics and materials science, focusing on atomic-scale fabrication of oxide heterostructures and nanomembranes, kinetic based synthesis of unconventional quantum materials, low-dimensional superconductivity, oxide interfaces for emergent states, etc. In 2019, a team led by Dr Li and Prof Hwang discovered the first nickelate superconductor, which had been a target of continuous materials search for over three decades.
李丹枫博士，本科毕业於浙江大学材料科学与工程专业，随後获得香港理工大学应用物理系研究型硕士学位（师从戴吉岩教授），2016年获得瑞士日内瓦大学量子物理系博士学位（师从Jean-Marc Triscone教授）。 2017年2月受瑞士国家自然科学基金资助，加入美国斯坦福大学从事博士後研究（合作导师Harold Hwang教授）。2020年11月加入城大物理系任助理教授。主要从事新型氧化物电子薄膜制备、原子尺度异质结外延生长、低维超导体系及界面新奇物理性质等相关研究。近年来在Nature、Nature Materials、Physical Review Letters、Nature Communications等学术期刊发表多篇重要论文。 2019年，他与Hwang教授领导的研究小组在世界上首次发现镍氧化物超导材料，解决了困扰超导学界超过三十年的难题，引起很大反响。
Research Interests/AreasGrowth and study of the newly discovered nickelate superconductors; physics in the phase diagram.
