I earned my BSc and MPhil in physics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in respectively 2002 and 2004. I continued my PhD study in physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and finished in 2009. After that I started my postdoc career at the department of chemistry and chemical biology of Harvard University until now. My recent research interest includes various topics in quantum information science, such as quantum simulation and quantum communication. I am also interested in the realization of quantum algorithms through collaborations with experimentalists.
