I am an undergraduate at UC Berkeley majoring in Physics and Computer Science. Born into an international family, I grew up in both Beijing, China, and Fort Worth, Texas. I work with Prof. Mike Zaletel’s group in the Physics Department, where I use numerical simulations to study topological structure in 2D quantum materials. Previously, I worked at the Space Sciences Laboratory, where I investigated solar wind–magnetosphere interactions at Mercury. Beyond research, I am deeply committed to undergraduate STEM education at Berkeley. I have taught Physics 8B as a tutor, served as a GSI for Physics 7A, and co-facilitated the Physics 98 DeCal. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, playing board games, and reading classical literature.
