Prize: Prizes, Medals, Awards and Grants

Description

Dr. Shuqiu Wang is currently an assistant professor at the University of Bristol. She received her DPhil from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, followed by postdoctoral research at Oxford and Cornell Universities. Dr. Wang has been developing innovative scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) instruments and techniques for investigating quantum matter. She has studied topological superconductivity, particularly in the spin-triplet superconductor UTe₂. Her work has advanced the spectroscopic imaging and theoretical modelling of the topological surface bands. She made critical contributions to the discovery of a topological spin-triplet pair density wave. She developed a quantitative theoretic model for Andreev tunnelling, which led to the creation of scanned Andreev tunnelling microscopy. Dr. Wang played a key role in quantifying the topological surface band in UTe₂ using quasiparticle interference, providing compelling evidence for its status as an intrinsic topological superconductor. Beyond this, her work in cuprate high-temperature superconductors has led to discoveries of novel quantum phases, including orbital ordering.
