Short Bio

Hi, I recently joined the University of Colorado Boulder and Harvard University as a joint postdoctoral fellow, working within the Ultra-Quantum Matter collaboration from Sept. 2024. I obtained Ph.D. degree in Physics at University of California San Diego in 2024, working mainly in condensed matter theory. My Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Yi-Zhuang You. I achieved my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Nanjing University in 2018.

My interests mainly lie in condensed matter systems, where rich phenomena emerge from fundamental rules and elements. These rules and elements have deep connections to high energy theory and mathematics. Recently, I've been focused on deconfined quantum criticality, symmetric mass generation, generalized symmetry, and strongly correlated electronic states in real materials. I'm also learning interesting subjects in high energy, quantum information and mathematics.
