Biography

I am an assistant professor (tenure-track) at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Wuhan University. I am also a principal investigator at the Center for Applied Mathematics in Hubei, Hubei Key Laboratory of Computational Science and Wuhan Institute of Quantum Technology.

From November 2020 to August 2022, I was a designated assistant professor (tokunin-jokyo, 特任助教) at the Graduate School of Mathematics, Nagoya University. I was part of the QLEAP theory group led 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 Prof. 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 the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Wuhan University.

With François Le Gall and Joshua Maglione, I am co-organizing Shonan Meeting 246.
