Dr. Zihao Huo | Physics | Research Excellence Award

Fuyang Normal University | China

Dr. Zihao Huo is a Doctor at Fuyang Normal University with a strong background in theoretical condensed matter physics and superconductivity research. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the School of Physics and Electronic Information at Luoyang Normal University and completed his doctoral studies in physics at Jilin University under the supervision of Professor Dafang Duan. His research primarily focuses on the theoretical design of hydrogen-based superconductors and the theoretical investigation of nickelate superconductors. Dr. Huo has made significant contributions to the field, including proposing a pressure reduction strategy for covalent hydrides and pioneering studies on room-temperature superconductivity under near-normal pressure, where he critically examined and denied such behavior in the Lu–N–H system. He also introduced geometric factors to quantify superconductivity in double-layer Ruddlesden–Popper phase nickel oxides and investigated the microscopic mechanisms of Pr-doped systems. Additionally, he resolved inconsistencies between theoretical and experimental Fermi surfaces in three-layer Ruddlesden–Popper phase nickel oxides under normal pressure. Dr. Huo has published 22 SCI-indexed journal papers, holds an h-index of 10, and is proficient in first-principles calculations, BCS theory, tight-binding models, and dynamical mean-field theory for strongly correlated electron systems. He is an active member of the Chinese Physical Society.
