Short Bio
I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University. I am a member of CS Theory group.
I obtained Bsc. from East China Normal University majored in mathematics and Ph.D. degree from Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore fortunately supervised by Rahul Jain and Miklos Santha. Prior to joining Nanjing University, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Centrum Wiskunde Informatica(CWI), then Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at University of Waterloo, then Hartree postdoctoral research fellow at Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS), University of Maryland. My full cv is here.
Research interest
Quantum algorithms, quantum complexity theory, communication complexity, quantum information theory, analysis of Boolean functions, derandomization.See preprints and publications.
