​Undergraduate
USTC
I'm a USTCer since Sept 2016, enrolled in the Gifted Young Department. My major is physics while sub-major is computer science. USTC is where I begin persuing my dream. I take various courses, attend clubs, do experiments and do researches.
2014-2016
High School
TIANYI HIGH SCHOOL
When I was an adolescent, I spend two years in Tianyi High school and took a broad range of fundamental courses. Besides that, I also took courses like arts, history, literature, cosmology, geography and so on.
2011-2014
Middle School
TIANYI HIGH SCHOOL
At the age of 11, I was selected as a student of the Gifted Young Class in Tianyi High School. In those three years, I spent the happiest time in my life.
Researches
2019.9-present
UCSD
​
ZZZ resonance BSM search
Supervisor: Frank Wuerthwein
I'm currently working with Prof. Frank Wuerthwein on a ZZZ resonance search. Under Philip Chang's guidance, I am working on Monte Carlo to see the leptons and fatjets feature.
2019.6-present
UW
​ATLAS Gbb calibration
Supervisor: Shih-Chieh Hsu
I worked with Shih-Chieh on gbb calibrations. The goal of it is to measure the double b tagging efficiency, so a calibration of MC mismodeling is required. Thus, a scale factor needs to be fitted.
​
CEPC Higgs->ZZ analysis
Supervisor: Shih-Chieh Hsu
As a core collaborator, I developed the criteria for event selection to surpress the backgrounds. I upgraded the framework a lot and merged two sub-channels together.
2017.3-2019.1
USTC/CERN
ATLAS Z asymmetry
Supervisor: Liang Han
Caused by dilution effect which is not discussed before, Z asymmetry measurement should have a bias.This study reveals that at the LHC, the Z asymmetry should be observed as a dependence of boson rapidity to consider the dilution effect, even if the boson rapidity shape is not interested.
​
W prime BSM search
Supervisor: Liang Han
Helped validating the purity of controll region. Studied the matrix method in the instrumental background estimation and gave 2 talks of these results at the ATLAS WZ production informal meeting
