Dr. LI Danfeng Denver (李丹楓)

Dr 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.

李丹楓博士，本科畢業於浙江大學材料科學與工程專業，隨後獲得香港理工大學應用物理系研究型碩士學位（師從戴吉岩教授），2016年獲得瑞士日內瓦大學量子物理系博士學位（師從Jean-Marc Triscone教授）。 2017年2月受瑞士國家自然科學基金資助，加入美國斯坦福大學從事博士後研究（合作導師Harold Hwang教授）。2020年11月加入城大物理系任助理教授。主要從事新型氧化物電子薄膜製備、原子尺度異質結外延生長、低維超導體系及界面新奇物理性質等相關研究。近年來在Nature、Science、Nature Materials、Nature Physics、Physical Review Letters、Nature Communications等學術期刊發表多篇重要論文。 2019年，他與Hwang教授領導的研究小組在世界上首次發現鎳氧化物超導材料，解决了困扰超导学界超过三十年的难题，引起很大反響。
