Dr. Qijin Chen is chair professor of physics at the University of Science and Technology of China, and Changjiang professor of the Education of Ministry, China. He obtained his PhD degree in 2000 from the University of Chicago, and has been working on theories of strongly correlated quantum matter, with an emphasis on the pairing and superfluid phenomena in high Tc superconductors and ultracold atomic Fermi gases. He co-developed the pairing fluctuation theory of superconductivity, which has led to natural (semi-)quantitative explanation for a series of key experiments in high Tc superconductivity, including the cuprate phase diagram and the quasi-universal behavior of superfluid density, and has been a major candidate theory for the widespread pseudogap phenomena. With coworkers, he extended and applied this theory to the field of superfluidity in ultracold atomic Fermi gases, introduced the pseudogap concept into the field, and has successfully explained a large number of experiments, and has predicted a series new quantum phenomena. He wrote the first review article in the field of ultracold atomic Fermi gases. So far, he has authored about 100 SCI papers in leading scientific journals, including Science, Nature, Reviews of Modern Physics, Physics Reports, Reports on Progress in Physics, and Physical Review Letters, which have received over 3300 SCI citations or alternatively, google scholar citations of over 4700.
