Rate My Professor Longqing Yi

Longqing Yi is a tenure-track Associate Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy and a T. D. Lee Fellow at the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, positions held since 2021. In physics, he specializes in laser-plasma interaction, strong-field optics, and laboratory astrophysics. He earned a Bachelor’s degree from Taiyuan University of Technology (2005-2009) and a PhD from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2009-2014).

Yi’s professional experience includes Assistant Researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (2014-2017), Postdoctoral Researcher at Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany (2015-2016), and Postdoctoral Researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (2017-2021). He has published extensively in leading journals, contributing to advancements in relativistic plasma physics and radiation generation. Key publications are: "Multistaged positron acceleration with beam driving diffraction radiation" (Sci. China-Phys. Mech. Astron., 2026); "Relativistic Oscillating Window Driven by an Intense Laguerre-Gaussian Laser Pulse" (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2025); "Anomalous effects in single-slit diffraction of light at relativistic intensities" (Phys. Rev. Res., 2025); "Generation of isolated subfemtosecond electron bunches by the diffraction of a polarization-tailored intense laser beam" (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2024); "High-harmonics generation and spin-orbit interaction of light in a relativistic oscillating window" (Phys. Rev. Lett., 2021); "Coherent diffraction radiation of relativistic terahertz pulses from a laser-driven microplasma" (Phys. Rev.
