Yujie Quan

Biography

Yujie grew up in China and obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2019. During this time, she carried out research on topological transport properties in two-dimensional materials. After graduation, Yujie joined Prof. Bolin Liao’s research group at UC Santa Barbara as a Ph.D. student to study phonon properties in quantum materials. As a Quantum Foundry Graduate Trainee, Yujie plans to use thermal transport measurements and state-of-the-art phonon spectroscopy to unveil unique phonon transport and electron-phonon interaction properties of topological materials, with a focus on the fundamental connection between the electronic band topology and the lattice properties.
