Abstract
EditorialRecently, Prof. Jianhua Jiang from Soochow University of China accepted an interview from Light: Science & Applications. Prof. Jiang works on topological photonics, topological phononics, and nonequilibrium physics. On this issue, he discusses the challenges and opportunities in topological photonics, topological phononics, and other topological synthetic systems. He also shares his experiences in cutting-edge research, the education of graduate students, and other challenges faced by junior researchers. Finally, he gives remarks and suggestions for Light: Science & Applications. Light People is a featured column of high-end interviews with outstanding scientists. It is our great honor to invite Prof. Jianhua Jiang, an outstanding young scientist, to showcase his research life and the story behind his success.
Highlights
D. degree in condensed matter physics in 2010. He later worked at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and Correspondence: Ying Zhang 1Light Publishing Group, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 3888 Dong Nan Hu Road, 130033 Changchun, China the University of Toronto in Canada as a postdoctoral fellow
I realized that topological physics could be invaluable in photonics, phononics and related fields, and it could even lead to unprecedented applications, and I entered the field of topological physics again
This time, I focused on topological photonics and phononics
Summary
Zhang Light: Science & Applications (2022)11:12 an environment, I started to learn topological physics and work on topological insulators. I mainly worked by myself in topological photonics/phononics and collaborated with experimental groups. Yin Poo from Nanjing University in China made the experimental discovery of bulk-disclination correspondence in topological crystalline insulators published in Nature[4], which is an important milestone in the study of topological materials.
