Research interests: My research will focus on physics, chemistry, and materials science in deep-sea extreme conditions with high pressure and variable temperature, especially novel physical and chemical properties of low dimensional materials in extreme conditions. Optical equipment such as diamond anvil cells and fused silica capillary capsules were used for high pressure at different temperatures. With material characterization methods, such as synchrotron X-ray techniques, in-lab spectroscopy, electrical transport measurements etc., we can do in-situ measurement for materials in simulated deep-sea environment.

Research funding and awards: Study on phase transition of self-assembled nano-supercrystals under pressure and temperature control.

Research interests:

My research focuses on the experimental investigation of the thermodynamic properties of geofluids in marine hydrothermal environments and Earth's interior. I employ a combination of high-pressure optical cells and Raman spectroscopy to conduct in situ high-pressure-temperature experiments. Additionally, I utilize synthetic fluid inclusion techniques to explore the roles of these fluids in various geological processes.
