Biography
I received my PhD in 2019 from the University of Colorado Boulder. From 2019-2024 I was a P.W. Anderson Postdoctoral Fellow at Perimeter Institute. After that, I spend half year as a research scientist there. Currently I am an assistant professor at Stony Brook University. I also a visiting fellow at Perimeter Institute.

Research Statement
I am interested in emergent phenomena in many-body correlated systems. Via quantum field theory and renormalization group, I study various exotic phases including quantum spin liquid, non-fermi liquid as well as quantum phase transitions, with a particular emphasis on uncovering their universal behavior in the long-distance and low-energy limit. This involves identifying critical exponents, scaling functions, and other universal properties of correlation functions.
