  • Background

I completed my PhD in 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: ( and ), , and . I have developed the 2-fold analysis for the PandaX-4T first WIMP search (). I developed the waveform simulation on PandaX-4T (). I developed the Radon calibration system and analysed data for PandaX-II (). 

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 (, ) together.

I took part in the conceptual design of PandaX-xT () 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 focusing on exoplanets in 2018.
