Associate Professor Hui Hu

Biography

Associate Professor Hui Hu’s research interests are in ultracold quantum atomic gases and statistical mechanics, most recently focusing on problems in topological superfluid states of spin-orbit coupled Fermi gases. His research has made contributions to the theory of quantum liquids, including strongly interacting Fermi gases and Bose-Einstein condensates. His research is mainly supported by the ARC.

Dr Hu received his PhD degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 2001. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at ICTP (Trieste) and SNS (Pisa) from 2001-2004 and was a Chair Professor of AMO physics at Renmin University of China from 2006-2009. In 2016, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (FAPS).

Dr. Hu has published over 180+ peer-reviewed scientific papers including one Science, two Nature Physics and 30 Physical Review Letters. These publications have attracted over 5,700+ citations from ISI Web of Science, leading to a Hirsch h-index h=43. For updated metrics, see, https://publons.com/researcher/2858719/hui-hu/. 

A collection of publications can also be found in Google Scholar, which typically records higher citations due to its larger database. To date, Dr. Hu has received 7,800+ Google Scholar citations and a Google Scholar h-index of 48 (https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?user=Uq7g2VAAAAAJ&hl=en).
