Self-introduction
Hello everyone, my name is Iao-Fai Io, you can call me Jacky (my nickname).
I am a Ph.D. student at National Taiwan University (NTU) and also an IPA student at RIKEN iTHEMS. Although I study in Taiwan, I am originally from Macau, so I know how to speak cantonese and mandarin
My research direction is condensed matter physics, specifically focusing on non-Hermitian systems, particularly one-dimensional lattice models (e.g., the SSH model and its extended versions). Currently, I am studying conformal symmetry in 1+1D non-Hermitian systems, including both lattice models and field theory, to understand the differences between Hermitian and non-Hermitian cases and to explore new physics in non-Hermitian systems. I am also interested in other topics in condensed matter theory, including topological insulators and superconductors.
