Bio

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of California, San Diego, advised by Prof. Yufei Ding. My current research focuses on quantum system design and quantum error correction.

Research Experience

2025-06 ~ 2025-09: Summer Intern at Quera Computing Inc.
I contributed to the development of the Bloqade compiler, creating a new placement dialect and a movement dialect to enable more flexible and efficient qubit scheduling. These dialects serve as the foundation for placement- and transport-aware compilation passes, improving both expressiveness and performance of Bloqade’s compiler infrastructure.

2023-07 ~ 2023-10: Summer Intern at UCSD Prof. Yufei Ding’s Group

We are building a compiler-centric optimization framework for quantum computing. This compiler is capable of deploying quantum programs onto the hardware based on photonic quantum devices. My work is to optimize the performance of a basic framework proposed by Picasso Lab, OneQ: A Compilation Framework for Photonic One-Way Quantum Computation, from the perspectives of algorithms, diversity in resource states, and physical realism.

Hobbies

Jane Austen Enthusiast

I’d like to recommend Jane Austen’s works to every girl intending to know something about marriage and love. From my perspective, her depiction of love is akin to delicate carving on a small piece of ivory but it is both genuine and imbued with strength.

A Girl Enjoying Painting

My passion for art extends beyond Chinese painting, sketching, oil painting, and quick sketches. Here are some of my works.

Calligraphy Enthusiast

I started practicing calligraphy at the age of six, and it has become an activity which brings me peace and joy. Here are some of my works.
