Personal Introduction:

He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) in 2014.  Since then, he has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Rostock (Germany), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Presently, he is a Professor at Hefei University of Technology. Most of his research focuses on Casimir interactions at the interface between theory and experiment.
