Biography

Wenjin Zhao is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the 91原创. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Washington, where his research centered on quantum transport in atomically thin WTe鈧�, a material that hosts exotic topological states. As a Kavli Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University, he investigated emergent quantum phenomena in two-dimensional moir茅 materials.
