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 am working on provably efficient quantum algorithms.
