Following increase of pressure, the atoms of materials will inevitably approach each other and the interaction between them will also increase, which strongly induce the change of chemical and physical properties. In the Universe, most materials are in the high pressure-high temperature conditions. So high temperature research in laser heating diamond anvil cells (DAC) is a critical important way to reveal the real status in giant planets. Through the evolution of phase boundary of solid and liquid (melting) under different pressures, it can provide more detail thermal and mechanical information of highly compressed solids and liquids.
In 2009, he received PH.D degree in condensed matter at Institute of Physics, CAS. In the same year he moved to Max-Planck Institute of Chemistry (Mainz, Germany) from Beijing. He worked as a postdoc with Dr. Reinhard Boehler on the observation of melting phenomenon of transitional metals and noble gases in laser heating diamond anvil cell. Then in 2010, he joined Geophysical Lab, Carnegie Institution of Washington (CIW, US) as a postdoc to continue the high pressure and temperature researches on transitional metals and carbon with Dr. Reinhard Boehler and Dr. Dave Mao. In 2015, he became a research scientist and started to find new novel compounds in laser heating diamond anvil cells.His current research interest mainly focuses on the study of melting phenomenon in high dense materials and the discovery of novel compounds under high pressure and temperature conditions.
