Prof. Hugen Yan
I'm a "Chang Jiang Scholar" Professor of Physics at Fudan University. Specialized in optical spectroscopy of condensed matter systems, including but not limited to graphene, 2D semiconductors, 2D semimetals, I particularly focus on the plasmonic and excitonic responses. The major effort is to probe symmetry, dimension, interlayer coupling and topology effect on light-matter interactions.
My group always looks for highly motivated graduate students and postdocs to participate in our exciting projects.
As a major author(either first or corresponding), I have published papers (up to 2023.9) in Nature (1 paper), Nature Photonics (1), Nature Nanotechnology(1), Light: Science and Applications (1), Nature Communications (10), Science Advances (1), Physical Review Letters(3), PNAS(1),among others.
