Haozhe received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Michigan State University in 2025 with a dissertation entitled Exploring Novel Quantum Materials Under Pressure. His research focused on (1) advancing high-pressure crystallography using laboratory-based single crystal X-ray diffraction to determine crystal structures at pressures up to 16 GPa, and (2) exploring quantum materials through high-pressure synthesis, including Ruddlesden-Popper strontium iridates and hexagonal cobalt pervoskites, stabilizing metastable phases at ambient conditions.

He obtained his B.S. Chemistry (Poling Class) from Nankai University in 2021. As an undergrad, he conducted research with Prof. Bin Zhao (Nankai University) on MOF-based heterogeneous catalysis, Prof. Sara Thoi (Johns Hopkins University) on electrochemical CO₂ reduction, Prof. Qilong Shen (Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS) on trifluoromethoxyl metal complexes, and Prof. Qianrong Fang (Jilin University) on COF crystallinity to explore his interests at the corner of inorganic chemistry and materials science.
