Magnetism + Nanoscience = Magnificence

I was born in 1974 in Zhenjiang(a city famous for its rice vinegar), Jiangsu Province, P. R. China.

As the top student in my high school, I was waived the national entrance exam and admitted to the Department for Undergraduate Intensive Instruction at the Nanjing University (NJU) in 1992, where I majored in physics. I received many awards during the four undergraduate years, including the Chien-Shiung Wu and Chia-Liu Yuan Award -- the highest honor for physics majoring student. I graduated with a degree of B.S. in 1996 and entered the graduate school of NJU in the same year, majoring in semiconductor and optoelectronic physics.

In 1999, I came to the Johns Hopkins University. I worked as a TA in the first year and received the Henry A. Rowland Prize for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching. Since 2000, I have been working with Prof. C. L. Chien in the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC). I obtained M. A. degree in 2002 and Ph.D. degree in 2006. Right now I am an associate Research Scientist. I have published over twenty journal articles and conference proceedings, and have two pending patents.

In my spare time, I led a small entrepreneur team "Smart Health" and won the third prize in the 2005 Baltimore City Business Idea Competition "Mosh Pit".
