BioI am an experimental and applied physicist, focusing on extreme light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. I am currently working with Prof. Tony F. Heinz as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. Before my current position, I obtained my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University in 2022 under the guidance of Prof. Mark L. Brongersma and my B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University in 2016.
My research concentrates on developing platforms with state-of-the-art tailored (optically resonant) nanostructures to achieve improved control over the photon-electron interaction at the nanoscale. This immediately allows us to create novel photonic and optoelectronic device concepts by coupling free-space lights into a series of well-engineered quantized optical modes and co-engineering electronic and optical components together. We therefore foresee a system-level revolution in industry enabled by nanotechnology. On the other hand, by providing a non-trivial and tunable optical, electrical, and mechanical nano-environment, this platform also fundamentally functions as a versatile tool and offers a new degree of freedom to better probe, study, and control various quantum properties and excitations in solids, especially those enhanced ones in low-dimensional materials. This will ultimately lead us to have a clearer understanding of unconventional phenomena in quantum materials and start to utilize them in a more controllable way. -

BioHello! I am a Stanford Science Fellow working in the Mathematics department. I am interested in the theory of nonlinear wave equations of mathematical physics, including the Einstein equations of General Relativity, the equations of gas mechanics, and related models. In particular, my research concerns a detailed understanding of "singularity formation" for such models, where energy is concentrated and interacts in such a way that the models, in some sense, break down. My focus is on understanding exactly how such a breakdown occurs and the physical implications.
