Moore Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley (2020-2024), PhD in physics from MIT (2020), BS in Physics from Tsinghua University (2014)
Research
My research focuses on theoretical and numerical studies of quantum many-body systems, including strongly interacting quantum materials, quantum critical points, and periodically driven systems. Recently I am developing new tensor network algorithms to simulate ground states and dynamics of two-dimensional quantum systems.
