  <p>
    I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at the <a href="https://umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>, Ann Arbor,
    advised by Professor <a href="https://gsravi.engin.umich.edu/">Gokul Ravi</a>.
    I work on quantum computing systems and architecture, with interests in realistic quantum simulation,
    error suppression and correction, quantum controller architecture, and variational quantum algorithms.
  </p>
  <p>
    I earned my bachelor's degree (double major in CS and ECE) from
    <a href="https://en.sjtu.edu.cn/">Shanghai Jiao Tong University</a> and the
    <a href="https://umich.edu/">University of Michigan</a>.
    Previously, I worked with Prof. <a href="https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~baris/">Baris Kasikci</a> on efficient data center processor design,
    Prof. <a href="https://ners.engin.umich.edu/people/kochunas-brendan/">Brendan Kochunas</a> on HPC for neutron transport calculations,
    and Prof. <a href="https://nyu.timbyrnes.net/">Tim Byrnes</a> on measurement-based photonic quantum computing.

<h2>Non-academic</h2>
<p>
  Outside of research, I play the <a href="images/saxo.png">alto saxophone</a> and stay active (basketball, rock climbing, weightlifting).
  I listen to a lot of music (J-pop/city pop, electronic, rock), and I shoot photos while traveling with my Canon 90D.
  I have a cat named <a href="images/cat.jpg">Spin</a> and a puppy named <a href="images/dog.jpg">Lafite</a>.
