Hi, welcome to Honglie Ning’s group website!

We are condensed matter experimentalists focused on investigating the nonequilibrium dynamics and the emergent phenomena of quantum materials upon light irradiation. Employing a suite of time-resolved techniques including linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy and polarimetry, electron and X-ray scattering, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we are able to selectively detect the temporal evolution of different degrees of freedom inside the quantum materials and manipulate the quantum phases in an ultrafast manner with possibly no equilibrium analogues. 

Honglie will land in Peking University as an assistant professor in September 2026. Currently, Honglie is a postdoc working with Prof. Nuh Gedik in the Department of Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to his current position, he earned the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Physics at California Institute of Technology in 2022, working with Prof. David Hsieh, and obtained the B.S. degree in physics with Honors from Peking University in 2016.
