Biao Lian

Biao Lian is an assistant professor of physics at Princeton University. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University and his bachelor’s from Tsinghua University, in Beijing, China. His main research interests include theoretical condensed matter physics, topological states of matter, two-dimensional systems, and strongly correlated systems. He has also worked on many other topics in physics, including nonequilibrium many-body quantum systems, quantum dynamics, quantum information, quantum entanglement, and thermalization. He has received several awards, such as the NSF Career Award in 2022, a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2021, and the Gold medal at the 39th International Physics Olympiad.

Biao Lian is an assistant professor at Princeton University, specializing in condensed matter physics. His research focuses on exploring exotic quantum phenomena in correlated materials, particularly in systems like twisted bilayer graphene and kagome magnets. He investigates topological properties, including quantum anomalous Hall effects, Chern insulators, and chiral Majorana fermions. His work also examines many-body correlations, spin-orbit coupling, and superconductivity in low-dimensional systems. Lian's research explores the interplay between topology, magnetism, and superconductivity, with applications in topological quantum computation and novel photodetectors. His publications highlight the synthesis of theoretical and experimental approaches to uncover new quantum phases in condensed matter systems.
