About me

I am a sixth year applied physics PhD student at Stanford University studying computational condensed matter physics. My advisor is Tom Devereaux. I am interested in strongly correlated electrons, particularly magneto-transport properties and the interplay between topology and interactions.

In fall 2024, I am moving to University of Pennsylvania as a postdoctoral fellow to work with the brilliant Martin Claassen.

My CV. My ORCiD is 0000-0002-5387-2609. My Github page.

You can find me at jxding@stanford.edu, or on the fourth floor of McCullough Building (476 Lomita Mall).
