I am a condensed matter theorist from China specialised in frustrated magnetism in spin ice. I am a member of the Theory of Condensed Matter group (TCM) in Cambridge and the Max Planck Graduate Center for Quantum Materials (MPGC-QM) in Germany.
I am pursuing a joint PhD between the University of Cambridge and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) under the guidance of Prof. Claudio Castelnovo and Prof. Roderich Moessner. I anticipate completing my degree in spring 2027.
Before my PhD, I completed my undergraduate studies in Oxford and obtained an integrated master's degree in mathematical and theoretical physics (MMathphys).
For further information, see my ORCID profile at https://orcid.org/0009-0006-1135-1270.
My personal interest lies in the dynamics of quantum systems, in particular that of novel topolocial excitations in frustrated systems, such as magnetic monopoles in spin ice.
