• I am an applied mathematician committed to performing numerical analysis and developing scientific computing tools for problems arising in science and engineering. Specifically, I am an expert in interpreting fundamental theories, designing advanced and robust computational methods, as well as developing practical and sophisticated software to solve the quantum many-body problem and to predict the behaviors of matter of scientific and technological interest. For more details, please see the Research page.

• I am a PhD student in Computational Mathematics at Stanford University, working with Prof. Lexing Ying. I received my PhD degree in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Chicago, where I worked with Prof. Yuehaw Khoo. I received my dual Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Chemistry with highest honors from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I worked with Prof. Tao Xiang and Prof. Qiang Shi.

• The paper Low-Rank Green’s Function Representations Applied to Dynamical Mean-Field Theory has been posted to the Arxiv (01/18/23)! In this work we show that via a low-rank decomposition, only 20-30 Matsubara frequency nodes are necessary for the Dyson equation solver of the dynamical mean-field theory, compared to 2000 which is typically used. Thanks to all of my collaborators at the Flatiron Institute, Simons Foundation!
