I completed my PhD in PandaX collaboration from 2018 to 2024. I contributed mainly to the software development, waveform simulation, background discrimination, and data selection for the solar B8 neutrino searches (PRL 133.191001 2024, APS Highlight and PRL Collection of the Year 2024, PRL 130.261001 2023, and W. Ma et al PRL 130.021802 2023). I have developed the 2-fold analysis for the PandaX-4T first WIMP search (PRL 127.261802 2021). I developed the waveform simulation on PandaX-4T (CPC 48 073001 2024). I developed the Radon calibration system and analysed data for PandaX-II (W. Ma et al JINST 15 P12038 2020). 

I spent 630 days underground from 2019 to 2022, which also coincided with the Global Pandemic. During this unique period, we built the cryostat for 6 tonnes of LXe, the cryorefrigerators working at 170 Kelvin, the distillation tower, and the LXe storage and recuperation system (JINST 16 T06007 2021, JINST 17 T10008 2022) together.

I took part in the conceptual design of PandaX-xT (SCPMA 68.221011 2024) and calculated the sensitivity for WIMPs and solar B8 neutrinos based on material background and detection efficiency estimations.

I got the bachelor's degree in Astronomy, and my undergraduate research focused on exoplanets.
