Research

Now I do research on experimental condensed matter physics.

I got my Bachelor Degree in Tsinghua University in July 2002. When I was in China, I studied the phonon spectrum in semiconductor superlattice. My tutor was Professor Bangfen Zhu in Center for Advanced Study Tsinghua University(CASTU). During the summer of 2001, Mr.Zhai in CASTU and I worked with Professor A.Zee from UCSB in random matrix approach to one dimension quantum hopping. This paper was published in Chinese Physics Letter.

I switched my field from theoretical to experimental physics. I am in Professor Butov's group. The research is mainly in cold exciton in semiconductors.
