Personal profile

Wen Dehua, a professor and doctoral supervisor, serves as a supervisor of the Guangdong Provincial Physics Society, a deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Undergraduate Physics Teaching Guidance Committee, and the deputy secretary-general of the Central South Working Committee of the University Physics Teaching Guidance Committee under the Ministry of Education. He primarily focuses on research in nuclear astrophysics and the physical states of condensed matter, with a particular interest in the properties and structures of compact objects such as neutron stars. He has published over 70 SCI papers in journals such as Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D. He has successfully led four projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, two projects funded by the Guangdong Provincial Natural Science Foundation, one project funded by the Ministry of Education's Returned Overseas Chinese Scholars Research Start-up Fund, one project funded by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and three projects funded by the Central Basic Research Fund.

I have mentored and graduated over 10 master's and doctoral students. Among them, three students received national scholarships, and one student was awarded the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Prize by South China University of Technology.

I am the main lecturer for the public basic course College Physics, the university general education course Celestial Bodies and the Universe, and the freshman seminar course Evolution of the Universe. I participated in the compilation of the textbook College Physics edited by Professor Deng Wenji and published by China Higher Education Press. I have guided multiple undergraduate students to participate in student research projects and published SCI scientific research papers. I have repeatedly won the Teaching Excellence Award and Teaching Achievement Award of South China University of Technology. I have presided over multiple teaching research projects, including provincial-level quality engineering projects.
