Hello world 👋, I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in Theoretical Computer Science at the Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies, Peking University, where I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tongyang Li. Before that, I received my B.S. in Physics with Liberal Education from Yuanpei College, Peking University.
During my journey, I am also pleased to have worked with Prof. Anurag Anshu at Harvard, Prof. Lin Lin at UC Berkeley and Dr. Linfeng Zhang as CSO of DP Technology. Currently, I’m working on developing provably efficient quantum algorithms.
