Education
I am currently a graduate student in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My advisor is Professor Nigel Goldenfeld. Here is a link to the research interests of the group.

I received my B.S. at Fudan University. I worked in Professor Xiaofeng Jin's lab.
　

Research Interest
I am interested in the search for simple, unifying explanations for complicated phenomena observed in liquids and solids. Phase transition, dynamics, nonlinear phenomena and strong correlated systems attract me intensely.

I am now greatly captivated by the field of biocomplexity. The emergence of life is undoubtedly fascinating.

I am currently working on the population dynamics of bacterium-bacteriophage communities. Here is a simulation by Netlogo. It takes some time for Java to load.
