I am a Ph.D. student at UCAS (School of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology), affiliated with the Institute of Physics, CAS, working on electronic structure theory and quantum many-body theory. My research focuses on AI-driven design of neural exchange-correlation functionals for excited-state calculations, efficient electronic structure methods, and the theoretical study of complex organic systems via many-body theory and geometric deep learning.

Research Interests

  • AI-driven design of exchange-correlation functionals and optimization of electronic structure algorithms
  • Transport and photophysical properties of organic semiconductors
  • Vibe coding and creative applications of AI agents
