Xiang Ni is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His research focuses on the characterization of physical properties of materials, including thermodynamic, transport, X-ray, and neutron measurements. Professor Ni's interests span a wide spectrum of materials, including intermetallics and oxides, with a particular emphasis on superconductors and strongly correlated electron systems that exhibit unusual electronic and magnetic ground states under chemical doping, applied pressure, or magnetic fields. His work aims to synthesize new materials with nontrivial properties, characterize quantum phases, and explore energy scales in solids, with a specific focus on the interplay of magnetism and superconductivity. He has been recognized for his contributions to the field through various awards and appointments, including serving as Secretary/Treasurer for the APS Division of Materials Physics and being elected as an APS fellow. Professor Ni actively engages in teaching, mentoring students, and conducting collaborative research.
