CONDENSED MATTER · QUANTUM SCIENCE
Dr. Hao Sun
Think rigorously, innovate boldly, and learn continuously.
I study generalized anomalous transport in quantum materials, with a focus on orbital physics, moiré systems, and quantum spins. Another central focus of my work is the translation and commercialization of quantum technologies.
