My undergrad research was focused on experimental condensed matter physics, especially instrumentations.
Manganin foil sensor for small uniaxial stressDuring the summer of 2012, I worked in Professor Rena Zieve's lab at University of California, Davis as a research assistant. I worked on developing a uniaxial pressure cell with a manganin foil manometer for low-temperature transport measurements of superconducting samples. A summary of my work can be found here: Development of uniaxial pressure cell with a foil-like manganin manometer. My work was later further developed into a refereed journal paper, of which I am a co-author.

Point-contact experiments using low-temperature atomic force microscopeDuring September to October, 2012, and February to May, 2013, I worked in Professor Jian Wei's lab at the International Center for Quantum Materials at Peking University as a research assistant. My main accomplishment was the development of a point-contact measurement setup based on a low-temperature atomic force microscope. My work was acknowledged in a paper that came out later from the lab. The work also resulted in my undergrad thesis Point-contact experiments using low-temperature atomic force microscope (in English, except the first few pages).
