Student Mentoring

As an undergraduate, I served as the counselor for the Physics Talents Class (Shaofeng Class) at Xiangtan University. The class achieved a graduate school admission rate of nearly 90% without entrance exams, with one student admitted to Peking University. I was honored as an Outstanding Counselor.

During my Ph.D., I independently supervised one undergraduate student from South China Normal University (now a direct-entry Ph.D. student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University) to publish a first-author research paper in Phys. Rev. A, a premier international journal in physics. (News link: https://news.scnu.edu.cn/51083)

I independently supervised one master’s student from Xiangtan University to publish two first-author papers in Phys. Rev. A.

I independently supervised one master’s student from South China Normal University to publish two first-author papers in Phys. Rev. B.

During my tenure at Fuzhou University (2023–2025):

1. In collaboration with Prof. Zheng Shibiao (National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars), co-supervised a Ph.D. student to publish four papers in Phys. Rev. Lett., Science Bulletin, Optics Express, and Phys. Rev. A.

2. Independently supervised an undergraduate student from the 2021 Physics Talents Class (now a direct-entry Ph.D. student at Zhejiang University, supervised by Academician Lin Haiqing, and recipient of the University Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis Award) to publish one paper in Phys. Rev. A and one in Phys. Rev. B. (News link: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/W9_w82s_-v62N_jVCAAFaA)

3. Independently supervised two 2021 physics major undergraduates from Fuzhou University for their graduation theses. They are now pursuing master’s degrees at Xiamen University and Southern University of Science and Technology, respectively.
