Biography

Looking back, my immense curiosity about fundamental science started in my childhood. Consciously or not, it always fascinated me how rich structures lie beneath the very simple first principles. During my undergraduate years at Cambridge in Mathematics, I explored theoretical physics through courses and summer research and discovered my passion for high-energy physics. Looking ahead to my PhD, I will be supervised by Professor Sean Hartnoll and will focus on the emergence of spacetime using models in matrix quantum mechanics, which is a subject inspired by condensed matter physics and closely related to string theory. It has the potential of unifying gravity with quantum field theory and solving some of the biggest mysteries in high-energy physics, e.g. the black hole microstates problem. The aim is to use techniques in Quantum Information and Random Matrix Theory to develop a probe to understand such strongly interacting systems. Meanwhile, I will commit myself to widespread fundamental sciences and let more people enjoy the beauty and elegance of maths and physics. It is my great honour to join the Gates Cambridge community and strive together with the future leaders of our generation to make our world a better place.
