Weiwei Li is currently a Professor at the College of Physics, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in China, a position he has held since July 2021. His academic journey is marked by a rich blend of education and professional experiences that have shaped his career in materials science and condensed matter physics. He earned his Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Soochow University, China, in June 2015 under the supervision of Professor Hao Yang. This was preceded by a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Information Science and Technology from the same university in 2010. Following his doctoral studies, Weiwei Li further honed his research skills as a Research Associate at the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, UK, from November 2015 to June 2021, working under the guidance of Professor Judith Driscoll FREng. His research focuses on the design of materials with tailored functionalities, specifically complex transition metal oxides (TMOs) which are notable for their diverse physical properties. His work involves the use of pulsed laser deposition equipped with Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) for the creation of quantum functional TMO heterostructures. Weiwei Li is deeply invested in controlling the interface, surface, and defects of electronic structures through various mechanisms to engineer novel functionalities such as magnetism, dielectricity, ferroelectricity, and semiconducting behavior.
