I am a tenure-track associate professor at John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
My research focuses on quantum information lying at the intersection of quantum physics and computer science.
My research interests include: (1) applying machine learning for quantum information science, and (2) continuous-variable quantum information theory.
Now I have open positions for postdoc working on AI+quantum. Please contact me if you are interested!
