Profile

I am currently a tenure-track professor in the Department of Plasma Physics and Fusion Engineering at the University of Science & Technology of China (USTC). Before joining USTC, I worked at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory as Associated Research Physicist (2018-2020) and Staff Research Physicist (2020-2022). My main interest is magnetic confinement fusion, particularly the design and optimization of stellarators. 

 

Positions for Ph. D. students and postdoc fellows are open. If you are interested, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
