Originally from Xi'an China, I moved to Beijing in 2011 to study physics at Tsinghua University. After completing my bachelor's degree in 2015, I stayed in Tsinghua for five more years to begin my PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics. 

After pursuing my PhD degree in 2020, due to the COVID restriction, I went to the Chinese University of Hong Kong as a postdoctoral fellow with Zheng-Cheng Gu till 04/2022. During this round of postdoc, I developed a systematic paradigm of constructing and classifying the crystalline topological phases in interacting fermion systems. 

During the past two years at Penn State, with Zhen Bi, Meng Cheng, and Chong Wang, I worked on a lot of interesting projects that lie at the crossroad of quantum information science and condensed matter physics. In particular, we discovered a lot of emergent many-body phenomena that are intrinsically mixed lacking analogs in isolated quantum systems, such as strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking and intrinsic average symmetry-protected topological phases in open quantum systems. 

Now I am a CTQM prize postdoctoral fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder, with Andy Lucas and Rahul Nandkishore. My main research goal is to explore new phenomena from an information-theoretic perspective, as well as the development and understanding of quantum error correction codes.
