I am a Sherman Fairchild postdoctoral fellow in the Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics at Caltech, supervised by John Preskill.

I received my Ph.D. in Quantum Science and Engineering from the University of Chicago in 2024, advised by Liang Jiang. My thesis is Towards Practical Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing. I obtained my B.S. in Physics from Nanjing University in 2019.

My research focuses on quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing. I am interested in designing new quantum error-correcting codes and fault-tolerant schemes that minimize space-time overhead. Additionally, I explore methods to develop noise-robust quantum processors by integrating techniques from quantum error correction, quantum control, reservoir engineering, etc. Please find my research topics and publications below.
