👋 Welcome to my homepage.

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Key Laboratory of Quantum Materials and Devices of Ministry of Education, School of Physics, Southeast University, under the supervision of Prof. Shuai Dong and Prof. Lingfang Lin. I am also a member of Prof. Lin’s Intelligent Quantum Materials Lab. Prior to this, I earned both my B.S. and M.S. degrees from Jiangsu Normal University, at the Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Extreme Multi-Field Materials Physics, School of Physics and Electronic Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Meiling Xu and Prof. Yinwei Li.

My research interest includes AI/ML-assisted quantum materials discovery and multiferroicity. Feel free to reach out for discussions or collaborations.
