Xiaomeng Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. He completed his Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard University in 2019. His research focuses on Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, particularly the study of emergent quantum phenomena arising from the collective motion of electrons in quantum materials. Liu's work specializes in the exploration of two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. He employs low-temperature electrical transport measurements and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to investigate these materials' unique properties and behaviors at the atomic level. His research interests include unconventional superconductivity, exciton condensation, frustrated magnetism, and strongly correlated electron orders. Liu actively collaborates on innovative applications of STM for exploring 2D materials and seeks to develop mechanical and electronic devices derived from these materials to advance quantum technologies. He is passionate about mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in quantum materials and their applications.
