Zhi Li, Scientific Associate Investigator, University of New South Wales Sydney

AI Dr Zhi Li is an ARC Future Fellow and a UNSW Scientia Fellow. Zhi is a condensed matter physicist, working on topological insulators, interface superconductors and two-dimensional materials. Zhi received his PhD research in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

He has expertise in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). It is proposed that his role in the Centre will be to support the study of new topological materials by fabricating high-quality samples by MBE and investigating them using STM.
