Who Am I?
I earned my PhD in the Miller PASTA lab at Northwestern University, under the supervision of Prof. Adam A. Miller. Starting in October 2026, I will join the University of Oxford as a Hintze Fellow.
My work focuses primarily on transient phenomena, bridging the gaps between theory, observation, and machine learning. With vast datasets from time-domain surveys and world-class telescopes, I use data science to uncover subtle patterns that reveal the underlying physics of various cosmic explosions.
Where Do I Come From?
My journey began in Xinchang (新昌), a serene mountainous county in China, where I spent countless hours wandering ancient paths that once inspired classical poets. It was there, beneath star-filled skies, that I first experienced the profound wonder of the cosmos, long before I encountered my first physics equation. As a photographer, I carry forward the same sense of wonder that first drew me to the stars.
