Prof. Jan-Chi Yang received his PhD degree from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, in 2014. Currently he is a professor in Department of Physics at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. Over the past years, he has focused on the growth and creation of functional complex oxide materials, interfaces, heterostructures, nanostructures and free-standing matters. Recently he’s trying to use the synchrotron-based and transport techniques to reveal the charming physics in quantum materials.

​

The main research goal of Jan-Chi is to explore new physics and revolutionize materials science through advanced growth. His research team not only fabricates quantum materials with emergent properties but also unveils the intriguing interplays beneath. His papers have been published in Nature Mater., Nature Commun., Phys. Rev. Lett., Advanced Mater., Nano Letters, ACS Nano, PRB and so on. He has extensive experience in using advanced characterization techniques to understand and to manipulate strongly correlated systems. His expertise also includes the fundamental characterizations via nanoelectronics.

Prof. Jan-Chi Yang’s notable research results include the realization of deterministic optical control of multiferroicity in complex oxide systems at room temperature [Nature Mater. 18, 580–587 (2019)], and the accomplishment of ultrafast non-volatile optical control of multiferroics via instantaneous strain perturbation [Adv. Mater. 33, 2007264 (2021)]. He also investigates new multiferroic systems and new approach for fabrication of low-dimensional complex oxide materials. The current goal of him is to use advanced growth and synchrotron-based techniques to understand the free-standing complex oxides with natural periodicities and low-dimensionality.
