About Me

I am a PhD student in the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) program at MIT, advised by Prof. Ju Li. I previously earned my B.S. in Physics from Peking University, where I worked with Prof. Xiao Yuan and had the privilege of collaborating with Prof. Liang Jiang as a research intern at the University of Chicago.

My research interests have evolved from quantum information science toward electronic structure theory, where I develop machine-learning methods to accelerate and generalize quantum chemical simulations.

I am broadly interested in computational condensed matter and quantum many-body physics, aiming to bridge numerical algorithms, physical modeling, and data-driven representations of correlated electronic systems.
