About me

I joined Penn State in Fall 2022 as a physics graduate student.

I am now working on computational astrophysics with Prof. Radice. I have broad interests in the field of numerical relativity and their astrophysics implications. In particular, I look at neutron star mergers, core-collapse supernovae in numerical simulations for their gravitational waves and electro-magnetic counterpart. Some of my previous researches include the study of nonlinearity of black hole ringdown gravitational waves, binary lensing of gravitational waves for LISA frequency band and neutrino flavor conversions in neutron star mergers. My current research focuses on development for GPU-portable code AthenaK with new quantum kinetic neutrino oscillation feature.

When not working, I also enjoy readings, music, workout and video games.
