About Myself

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I worked with Prof. Kejie Fang on integrated optomechanics, focusing on chip-scale photonic and phononic devices for quantum applications. I am currently a Silicon Photonics Design Engineer at Apple.

I earned my bachelor degree in Mathematics and Physics from Tsinghua University in 2019, where I worked with Prof. Zhangqi Yin on levitated optomechanics and Prof. Wenlan Chen and Prof. Jiazhong Hu on the design and implementation of high-cooperativity optical cavity. I also collaborated with Prof. Tongcang Li and Prof. Bo Zhen on levitated optomechanical array and photonic Bound-state In the Continuum, respectively. I used to share my knowledge of physics on Zhihu (a major Q&A website in China) with more than 10k followers.

Research Interest

My research interests include on chip-scale photonic and phononic systems and their applications in emerging quantum technologies.
