About

I have 10 years of research experience in theoretical condensed matter physics, theoretical quantum optics, and quantum information science. My expertise in fractional quantum Hall physics was recognized. I was invited to write a review article on the topic, which is published in the Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics, 2nd Ed. During my postgraduate studies and postdoctoral training, I have led different teams to finish various research projects and published more than 15 peer-review articles in Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, and Physical Review A.
