I'm a PhD student at Maryland Physics Department, working under the supervision of Prof. Victor Galitski.
My Curriculum Vitae can be found here
Research
My main area of interest is quantum condensed matter theory, particularly many-body physics related to unconventional superconductivity(e.g., p-wave superconductors) and topological phases. Currently I'm investigating superconducting fluctuations in topological superconductors.

Personal
Since my arrival at US in August, 2008, most of the time I was localized in College Park(which will certainly continue for the next 4-5 years). There were certain time slices that I escaped/tunneled/hopped/traveled to other places.
- I have been to Washington D.C. for two times, August 2008 and Winter vacation.
- Trip to Florida for Chrismas week in 2008. Many photos at Disney Parks
I have a blog here. Mainly in Chinese.
