Hi there!

My name is Kaifa (/ˈkīfa/), which means innovate in Chinese.

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Physics at UT Austin, and earned a M.S. in Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics from Oden Institute in 2024. Prior to that, I graduated summa cum laude from Wuhan University in China, and worked as a graduate research assistant at HKUST.

Recent Interests:

• First-principles methodologies for many-body physics,
  
• Multi-scale modeling of condensed matter,
  
• High-performance computing.
