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 a series of 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 stayed 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.
