I am currently a Damon Runyon Computational Biology Fellow at Harvard Medical School. Since 2023, I will be starting my own lab at Westlake University in China.

I grew up in China, and obtained both my B.S. and Ph.D. in Tsinghua University, majoring in Physics. Supervised by Lei-Han Tang, I obtained a solid training in statistical physics, working broadly on non-equilibrium statistical physics and its application to sub cellular processes as well as to collective cellular dynamics. Prior to completion of my Ph.D., I spent half a year in Princeton with Ned Wingreen on protein evolution. While I really enjoyed the deep insight that can be generated through theoretical studies, I started to be interested in deciphering experimental data. In the fall of 2018, I started my Postdoc in Allon Klein’s lab in Harvard Medical School, where I was gaining a complementary training by doing experiments on my own. Currently, I am interested in combining recently developed lineage tracing techniques and my background in statistical physics to address important questions in the field of stem cell and developmental biology.

I also like hiking, camping, making new friends, and music.
