I am involved with CMS' search for a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon (H → Zγ) and the upgrades to the CSC optical data acquisition motherboards (ODMBs).
I work in the area of theoretical cosmology. I am particularly interested in strong gravitational lensing as a probe for sub-galactic dark matter halos.
My research focuses on the kinematics of shape change in developing embryos, and how the interplay between genes and mechanics influences these processes.
I am currently working with Prof. Young on van-der-Waals heterostructures. I am developing an integrated thermometry method and measure thermodynamic porperties of the quantum Hall effect in graphene.
I am involved in a search for higgsinos and the upgrades to the optical data acquisition motherboards (ODMBs) for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
Zixuan is interested in the interface between theoretical and observational work in galaxy formation and evolution. His current research focuses on the dynamics of galactic winds and the chemical evolution of Extreme-Emission-Line Galaxies, which are local analogs of high-redshift galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization.
I am currently a PhD student in hep-th and gravity in the Physics Department at UCSB, advised by Prof. Xi Dong. My research explores quantum gravity to understand emergent spacetime, causality, and chaos through solvable models.
