Welcome

I am an assistant researcher in the experimental space physics group at UCLA. I study magnetotail current sheet dynamics and wave-particle interactions in the Earth's magnetosphere. The general philosophy behind my research is to combine very rapid development of computational opportunities and modern spacecraft measurements to resolve longstanding questions in plasma physics,  which are also fundamental and specific for the magnetospheric plasma.

I received my Ph.D. in space physics from UCLA in 2017, as well as my Bachelor degree in space physics from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2012, with a postdoc position at Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at UCLA. I grew up in Shaanxi province, China, and attended the High School Affiliated to Xi’an Jiaotong University.
