Summary
Shan Wu is an Assistant Professor and condensed-matter physicist with nine years of focused experience in quantum materials, skilled in neutron and synchrotron scattering, muon spin relaxation, materials synthesis, and lab-based characterizations. He has led and collaborated on experiments at major national facilities worldwide (ALS, SSRL, APS, NSLS-II, SNS, ISIS, ESRF, SPring-8, TRIUMF) and brings deep hands-on expertise in data analysis and scientific programming (Python, IDL, Matlab). His postdoctoral work at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley combined high-pressure, field, and temperature studies to probe unconventional superconductivity, spintronics-relevant TMDCs, and Kondo-lattice quantum criticality. Known for initiating interdisciplinary projects, he bridges experimental design, advanced instrumentation, and collaborative networks across physics, engineering, and facility operations. Based in Berkeley, he applies fundamental quantum-physics insights toward practical applications and continually pursues new experimental technologies.
