Prof. Huiqiu Yuan is a Qiushi Professor of Physics at Zhejiang University. Professor Yuan performed his PhD study under the supervision of Prof. Frank Steglich at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids from 1999 to 2003, and gained his PhD degree from Dresden University of Technology in 2003. After continuing for a short period of postdoctoral research at Dresden, he then joined the University of Illinois at Urbana and Champaign, USA as a postdoctoral research associate in 2004 and later became a Director’s postdoctoral fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2007. He was also an ICAM postdoctoral fellow during 2004-2007. In 2008, Prof. Yuan moved back to China, becoming a Chang-Jiang professor at Zhejiang University. In 2012, Prof. Yuan, together with Prof. Frank Steglich, established the Center for Correlated Matter at Zhejiang University. He is currently serving as the Executive Deputy Director of the center.

Prof. Yuan has been working on emergent quantum phases and related phenomena in correlated electron systems. He synthesizes materials and probes their physical properties under multiple extreme conditions of low temperature, high pressures and high magnetic fields by measuring transport, thermodynamic and magnetic properties as well as magnetic penetration depth and quantum oscillations. He frequently performs experiments using different high magnetic field laboratories around the world. The major research interests in his group include heavy fermions, exotic superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, Mott transitions, charge density waves and mixed valence behavior. Prof. Yuan has made several important contributions in the areas of heavy fermions, non-centrosymmetric superconductivity and iron-based superconductors, which have had significant impacts on these research fields. Some of his works have been selected as textbook examples of unconventional superconductivity and quantum phase transitions. As a result, he was selected as a fellow of American Physical Society (2021) and awarded the Ye Qi-Sun Prize of the Chinese Physical Society (2022). He has published over 180 peer reviewed articles, including a number of articles published in Nature, Science, PNAS and PRL. He has also delivered over 200 invited conference or seminar talks, including at major international conferences in this field.

The research in Prof. Yuan’s group has been financially supported by the national and local funding agencies. Prof. Yuan is the PI of several projects funded by the NSFC, MOST and MOE. Prof. Yuan serves on the international advisory committees of several important international conferences, including the SCES and M2S conferences. He also serves as an editorial board member for seven journals.
