- Biography
- <p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">Dr. Liangzi Deng currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Houston (UH). He obtained his Ph. D. in Physics from UH in 2015, and his thesis advisor was Prof. Ching-Wu Chu. His main research interests are searching for novel superconductors and topological materials; enhancing superconducting critical transition temperatures; unraveling the underlying mechanism and developing the practical use of high-temperature superconductivity; investigating strongly correlated systems with multi-interactions; and designing revolutionary tools to accelerate discovery and technological deployment of quantum materials. His recent leading work on superconductors and topological solids has resulted in several publications, including in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Communications, and Materials Today Physics. He has also collaborated on studies of two-dimensional materials and thermoelectric compounds that have been published in Science, Science Advances, and Nature Nanotechnology.</span></p>
