About Me

Starting in Fall 2026, I am joining Janet Hung's group as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University.

Research Interests

My research focuses on operator algebras, quantum information theory, and topological orders. I like to building bridges between concepts in operator algebras and quantum information and the study quantum phases of matter.
