Shiyu Zhou

This researcher works on advanced thin-film and nanostructured materials, including magnetic thin films, multiferroics (materials combining magnetic and electric properties), vertically aligned nanocomposites, and porous materials like zeolites for catalysis and gas separation. The work spans fundamental physics questions (e.g., skyrmions, spin textures, magnetic switching) and applied materials engineering (e.g., sensors, photocatalysts, thermal management materials). Prospective students would likely engage with both experimental materials fabrication and characterization techniques as well as collaborative projects spanning physics, chemistry, and materials science.

Publication output was sparse and irregular through the mid-2010s but has grown substantially since 2021, with a notable surge in 2025, suggesting an increasing and recently very active publication pace.
