Wei BAO, 鮑威

Using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering as the main research tool, Prof. BAO has investigated frontier issues of correlated electronic phenomena in condensed matter, including the Mott metal-insulator transition, giant magnetoresistivity, orbital ordering, re-entrant spin-glass state, itinerant antiferromagnetism, low-dimensional quantum antiferromagnetism, and unconventional superconductivity in heavy-fermion, cuprate and iron-based materials, often under extreme condition at low temperature, high pressure and high magnetic field. These works have led to more than 200 plenary and invited talks in international conferences, colloquia and research seminars in US, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Prof. BAO's publications were selected as "The top 100 most influential academic articles from China" in 2011 and 2013, "The special honour prize 特等奖 for the most influential article" by Chinese Physical Society in 2013, "ESI highly cited papers in the top 1% of the the academic field of Physics" in 2019, "ESI highly cited papers in the top 1% of the the academic field of Materials Science" in 2019, and since 2020 he has been selected as "Stanford's top 2% most highly cited scientists". Prof. BAO was the principal investigator of National Key R&D Projects of NSFC and MoST. He has also led the design and construction of a suite of innovative and complimentary cold-neutron inelastic spectrometers at China Advanced Research Reactor in Beijing as the PI of a ￥111 million National Key Research Infrastructure Project. He continues to contribute to the state-of-art instrumentations at China Spallation Neutron Source in Dongguan.
