Qitong Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
BioI am an experimental and applied physicist, focusing on extreme light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. I am currently working with Prof. Tony F. Heinz as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. Before my current position, I obtained my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University in 2022 under the guidance of Prof. Mark L. Brongersma and my B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University in 2016.
My research concentrates on developing platforms with state-of-the-art tailored (optically resonant) nanostructures to achieve improved control over the photon-electron interaction at the nanoscale. This immediately allows us to create novel photonic and optoelectronic device concepts by coupling free-space lights into a series of well-engineered quantized optical modes and co-engineering electronic and optical components together. We therefore foresee a system-level revolution in industry enabled by nanotechnology. On the other hand, by providing a non-trivial and tunable optical, electrical, and mechanical nano-environment, this platform also fundamentally functions as a versatile tool and offers a new degree of freedom to better probe, study, and control various quantum properties and excitations in solids, especially those enhanced ones in low-dimensional materials. This will ultimately lead us to have a clearer understanding of unconventional phenomena in quantum materials and start to utilize them in a more controllable way. -
Viktoryia Shautsova
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
BioViktoryia joined Stanford as a Stanford Science Fellow with a background in physics, nanotechnology, and material science. Viktoryia received her bachelor’s degree in computer science from Belarus State University and a PhD in physics from Imperial College London, followed by a postdoc in material science at Oxford University. Viktoryia's passion lies in developing nanotechnologies with applications in optoelectronics and bioelectronics. During the Stanford Science Fellowship, Viktoryia was part of GLAM and Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute, working with Prof. Nick Melosh, Prof. Bianxiao Cui and Prof. Mark Brongersma to develop novel nanoscale devices for label-free optical sensing of bioelectrical signals. Following the fellowship, Viktoryia joined the Applied Physics Department where she continues research investigating novel materials under the co-supervision of Prof. Tony Heinz and Prof. Daniel Palanker.
