Our research examines broadly the fundamental correlations between spintronic, photonic, and magnonic quantum degrees of freedom in van der Waals (vdW) and topological materials.

Currently, I’m a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow and Honorary Kavli Fellow at Cornell University, working with Prof. Daniel C. Ralph (primary), Prof. Kin Fai Mak, and Prof. Jie Shan. I obtained my Ph.D. in Physics in 2019 working with  Prof. Roland Kawakami at the Ohio State University.

In Spring 2023, I will be joining University of Southern California as the Gabilan Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy. If you are interested in working with me as an undergraduate, graduate, postdoc, or collaborator, or just want to learn more about my research, please contact me at: kellyluoyunqiu at gmail.com

We design and/or utilize many cool tools to let us ‘see’ the electron spins, for example ultrafast optical far- and near-field microscopy, Sagnac MOKE interferometry, microwave magnetotransport. We also utilize frequent access local and national share facilities such as scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and micron-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (μ-ARPES), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), time-resolved X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (tr-XMCD), and time-resolved angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (tr-ARPES).

We collaborate with scientists around the world.
