Shuqiu Wang joined the University of Bristol in Dec 2023. She is now setting up the Visualizing Quantum Matter Research Lab. Her research interests include topological states of matter, unconventional superconductivity, intrinsic topological superconductors and high-temperature superconductors in strongly correlated electronic systems. Shuqiu has worked extensively on low-temperature Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (SISTM) of novel emergent quantum states in unconventional superconductors.

Prior to Bristol, she completed a PhD at the University of Oxford (2015-2019), and postdoc at University of Oxford and Cornell University (2019-2023), all in STM research. Shuqiu has received numerous awards from the University of Oxford. Recently she won the 2024 Nicholas Kurti Science Prize for Europe for major breakthroughs in p-wave topological superconductors and dilution refrigerator STM.
