Personal profile

Wan Niu, Associate Professor, Doctoral Supervisor. Graduated from Nanjing University with a Bachelor's degree in Science in 2014, and obtained a PhD in Science from Nanjing University in 2019; During the pursuit of a doctoral degree, I was awarded the National Scholarship for master's students and the National Scholarship for doctoral students. In May 2018 and January 2019, I visited the Nuclear Physics Research Center of Osaka University in Japan for academic research and received the Foreign Young Researcher Support program from Osaka University; During my postdoctoral research, I received funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China's Theoretical Physics Program, the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation's General Support Program, and the Jiangsu Province Scholarship Program for recruiting postdoctoral fellows; I have published over ten academic papers in domestic and international journals such as Physical Review C, Journal of Physics G, and Chinese Physics C.
