I’m a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley Physics department. Currently, I am working in Feng Wang’s ultrafast nano-optics lab, where we research on light-matter interaction in condensed matter systems. In my graduate study, I do optical experiments on a novel material — graphene, and try to understand how electrons in graphene interacts with lights.

Research projects

The following list contains my research projects and I would like to have discussion or suggestion from you.

  • Optical method to use graphene as a charge sensor
  • Interaction between graphene and polymer
  • Study graphene cyclotron resonance using infrared detection
  • Drude behavior on intraband transitions of graphene
  • Controlling Raman scattering using strongly doped graphene
