Quantum Materials
About
Qiong Ma’s research is to discover and understand complex materials for emergent functions. By gluing together individual constituents of materials and turning on the interactions between them, materials exhibit collective behaviours that cannot be expected from the microscopic constituents, giving rise to emergent functions. Ma’s lab aims to understand and utilize those emergent functions for new technology.
