About Me

Hi, there! 

I am a NASA Jack Eddy Postdoc Fellow at Princeton Professor Hantao Ji's group, where I work on plasma physics experimentally and theoretically.


I graduated from Caltech Bellan Plasma Group in June 2024.


I have a broad interest in plasma physics, including but not limited to fundamental plasma physics, solar physics, plasma astrophysics. I enjoy solving problems using simple physics. 


I am also curious about research from different disciplines and am willing to learn new things and collaborate with people from different fields.


I have an intense curiosity about the world. I travel a lot and enjoy getting exposed to different cultures. Nature scenes attract me the most. 


I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
