Previously, I received my master's degree from University of Washington in 2022, advised by Professor Fang Han, and my bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University in 2020. I was advised by Professor Lixin Zhang on my undergraduate thesis and Professors Deanna Needell, Hanbaek Lyu on my REU project. If you are interested in collaborating with me, feel free to contact me through email! |
