About me
I spent my undergraduate at Tsinghua University from 2003 to 2007. Then I pursued the Ph.D. at YITP, Stony Brook University under the advice of professor Leonardo Rastelli.
After graduating from Stony Brook in 2012, I spent three years at Caltech Theory Group as a postdoctoral researcher (Sherman-Fairchild fellow). After that I was a postdoctoral researcher at CMSA, Harvard University from 2015 to 2017.
In 2017, I joined the String Theory Group of Yau Mathematical Science Center, Tsinghua University as a faculty member.
Research
My research focuses on various aspects of supersymmetric theories and superconformal theories (SCFT) with various supersymmetry (SUSY) in various dimensions. Moduli spaces of vacuum, exact observables, dynamics (perturbative and non-perturbative), and etc play an important role in the contemporary of modern physics and mathematics.
My list of publications can be found at inSPIRE.
