Biography
I am an assistant professor (tenure-track) at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Wuhan University. I am also a member of the National Center for Applied Mathematics in Hubei and Hubei Key Laboratory of Computational Science.
My office is Leijun Science and Technology Building 722.
From November 2020 to August 2022, I was a designated assistant professor (tokunin-jokyo, 特任助教) at Graduate School of Mathematics, Nagoya university. I was part of the QLEAP theory group lead by Professor François Le Gall.
From June 2018 to June 2020, I was a Postdoctoral researcher at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the national research institute for mathematics and computer science in the Netherlands, supervised by Prof. Ronald de Wolf and Dr. Michael Walter. I was also affiliated with the Research Center for Quantum Software (QuSoft).
I received my Ph.D. from Centre for Quantum Software and Information (QSI), University of Technology Sydney (UTS), supervised by Prof. Runyao Duan and Dr. Youming Qiao (and informally co-advised by Prof. Andreas Winter). Before that, I received my B.Sc. (with Hongyi honor) in 2014 from School of Mathematics and Statistics, Wuhan University.
