GUO Mingyang - The Department of Physics at Southern University of Science and Technology

Personal Profile

Dr. Mingyang Guo, received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2013, and the Ph.D. degree in 2018 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he created the ultracold ground-state NaRb molecules for the first time and successfully manipulated their chemical reactivity and collisional properties. After that, He moved to the University of Stuttgart to investigate dipolar quantum gas of strongly magnetic Dysprosium atoms, specifically on novel quantum phases of supersolid and quantum droplets. The research result “Signs of Supersolidity in Dipolar Gases” (together with the other two independent groups) was selected by American Physical Society as “Highlights of the year 2019”. Since Nov. 2021, he joined the Physics department at Southern University of Science and Technology as an assistant professor.
