What year are you in?
I am in my third year.

What group are you in?
Prof. Chris Hirata’s group.

Where are you from?
Beijing, China.

Describe your research in 200 words or fewer.
My research focuses on various topics in cosmology including lensing and large-scale structure of the universe, the epoch of reionization and the Cosmic Microwave Background. In short, they all relate to how the universe evolve from the beginning to what we are seeing on the sky today. I am trying my best to describe this evolution process with mathematical and numerical models.

What have you done in physics that you are most proud of?
I am proud to collaborate with lots of world-class scholars in the field and make some publications along the way. It is a great pleasure to interact with them at different academic stages.

What have you done outside of physics that you are most proud of?
Photography has been part of my life for a long time. My photo works were put on display during my undergrad commencement which is something that always made me proud.

What are your future goals?
In the future I would like to contribute to the scientific community as much as I could. My short-term goal would be looking for a postdoctoral position.
