Biography

Yong Niu is a associate professor of Atomic and Molecular Physics in School of Physics & Information Science, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. His research interests include attosecond physics, first-principles calculations and Physics-Informed Machine Learning. He leads the Attosecond and Computational Science Group (ACSG), which develops coherent XUV/soft-X-ray sources based on the high-harmonic generation process with femtosecond/attosecond time and nanometer spatial resolution for spectroscopy, imaging, and metrology applications, particularly for probing the properties of quantum materials.

Attosecond Physics

Attosecond physics and high harmonic generation.

First-principles calculations

First-principles electronic structure calculations are based on the laws of quantum mechanics and only use the fundamental constants of physics as input to provide detailed insight into the origin of mechanical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties of materials and molecules.
