I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Group of Laboratory for Nuclear Science (LNS) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). I conduct my research in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN. Previously, I worked on the PHOBOS experiment at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in New York.

I earned my Ph.D. degree in Physics at MIT in January 2009, and received my B.S. degree in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in July 2004. My research interests include understanding the properties of strongly interacting QCD matter under extreme conditions; experimental aspects of multi-particle correlation measurements and hydrodynamic flow studies; searching for exotic phenomena in high multiplicity hadronic interactions; developing new data handling technologies in high energy physics experiments.
