Xinyu Zhang joined Eastern Institute of Technology as a PhD student in the Department of Physics starting in 2023. His research focuses on topological states of matter and their applications in engineered systems. Specifically, he explores topological circuits and topological photonic crtstals, leveraging graph theory to model and optimize their properties. He is passionate about discovering how topological principles can enhance the robustness and efficiency of next-generation computational and electronic platforms. He is seeking for more communications and collaborations during this event. Her research interest in topological photonics is driven by a desire to understand how light can be controlled and manipulated through geometric and topological properties, particularly within novel material platforms.
