I work on gravitational wave physics.

I did my Ph.D. at Caltech from 1999 to 2003 at
Caltech, under the supervision of Prof. Kip S. Thorne. I graduated from Peking University (Beijing, China) in 1999.

Before re- joining Caltech in 2007, I worked as a postdoc (2004) under the direction of
Prof. Bernard F. Schutz, and then junior research group leader (2005-08, hosted by Prof. Schutz and Prof. Karsten Danzmann), at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (also known as the Albert-Einstein Institute, or the AEI) in Golm, Germany. My AEI research group was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, through the Sofja Kovalevskaya Award.

My current research at Caltech is supported by the
National Science Foundation, and by Dr. David Groce (Caltech B.S. ‘58 and Ph.D. ‘63) and Mrs. Barbara Groce. I am especially grateful to David and Barbara, who have been supporting me since I was a graduate student.
