Dr. Ze-Xun Lin joined NarangLab as a postdoctoral scholar in September 2023. With a background in condensed matter theory, his recent research interests focus on the cavity control of quantum materials and the physics of moiré materials. He also enjoys applying quantum information science perspectives to quantum systems, and his curiosity extends to exploring the intricacies of Hamiltonian learning and the mechanisms of quantum transduction. Dr. Lin earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was mentored by Professors Allan MacDonald and Gregory Fiete. His doctoral research delved deeply into the theoretical study of nonlinear phononics control in van der Waals magnets. Prior to that, he completed his bachelor’s degree in 2017 at Nanjing University, where he focused on the physics of topological insulators and topological superconductors.

Outside of his academic pursuits, Dr. Lin enjoys staying active and has a particular fondness for badminton.
