Yu-An was a QuICS Postdoctoral Researcher and condensed matter theorist at the University of Maryland from 2021 to 2023. He is interested in studying topological phases of matter and quantum information. His previous work focuses on bosonization, a mapping between fermionic and bosonic systems, which is useful for quantum simulation of fermions and the construction of fermionic topological phases. This approach utilizes tools in algebraic topology. Yu-An's research style is the hybridization of math, condensed matter, and quantum information. He would like to explore more about mathematical physics and quantum computation in the future. Yu-An is an Assistant Professor at Peking University.
