Bio

I am a 0-year Ph.D. candidate in Physics at Georgia Insitute of Technology. My first-year study will focus on course learning and the following years will be research-based. My intended research interest covers Nonlinear dynamics and High Performance Computing (HPC). Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Physics from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) with first class honours. I was advised by Dr. Lam Chi-Hang at PolyU with research interest of glass simulations.
