Welcome to
Bingyu Cui WEBSITE
Dr. Bingyu Cui earned his Bachelor's degree from Imperial College London, UK, in 2015 and his Master's degree in 2016 from the University of Cambridge, UK. Before starting his PhD at Cambridge, he spent one year as a research assistant at the Institute for Solid State Physics, the University of Tokyo, Japan. He passed PhD viva in 2020 and went to Tel Aviv University, Israel, and the University of Pennsylvania, USA, to work as a postdoctoral fellow. He joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Dec 2023.
His research interests include but are not limited to disordered systems, nonequilibrium statistical physics, strong light-matter interaction, exciton dynamics, foundations of quantum mechanics, and quantum measurement theory. He mainly develops analytical models and manipulates numerical methods to understand and predict the mechanical, dielectric and optical properties of complex materials, starting from how particles structure and interact themselves inside the molecular/atomic systems. He is also interested in the philosophy of physics.
