Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Fribourg

Hi! I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Prof. Philipp Werner at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. My research focuses on nonequilibrium phenomena in strongly correlated systems, in particular long-lived steady states driven by photodoping or constant electric fields. I mainly study these problems using nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) techniques and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT).

During my PhD at Peking University, I worked in the group of Prof. Liang-You Peng, where I studied strong-field ionization and high-harmonic generation in atoms and molecules. I mainly used the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) and the strong-field approximation (SFA) as theoretical tools. As an undergraduate, I also received early research training in atmospheric chemistry in the group of Prof. Tzung-May Fu at Peking University.

I am broadly interested in many areas of physics, especially computational and numerical approaches to complex problems. If you are interested in my previous work or would like to discuss related ideas, feel free to contact me.
