Short Bio

My general interests in math, physics and biology led me to studying mechanics at Peking University as an undergrad and studying biomechanics at Johns Hopkins as a graduate student. At Johns Hopkins, I focused on the mechanics of cell division and growth supervised by Sean Sun. Then I became a postdoc in Suckjoon Jun’s lab at UCSD investigating bacterial physiology by doing quantitative experiments. Prior to joining CMU, I finished my second postdoc in Lisa Racki’s lab at Scripps Research exploring principles and mechanisms of cellular organizations using a pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as a human health-relevant example.
Outside of the lab, I am a soccer player having been part of the PKU Alumni soccer team in the US for nearly 10 years.
