• Postdoctoral Research Associate, 2010-2011, Louisiana State University.
• Postdoctoral Research Associate, 2006-2010, with Prof. David M. Ceperley, also in ICMT .

Research Interests:

• Quantum Monte Carlo algorithms and other numerical methods for both condensed matter and optical lattice systems.
  
• Applications of quantum Monte Carlo and other numerical techniques to real systems to study strong correlation effects, transport properties, disorder effects, spin-orbit coupling effects, and quantum entanglement properties, etc. The systems include atomic/molecular optical lattices, topological superconductors related to the fabrication of stable topological quantum computers, spin-orbit coupled systems, dipolar systems with long-range anisotropic interactions, nano materials, fullerene molecules and solids, liquid hydrogen, and high Tc materials.
  
• Improving numerical simulation efficiency with various parallel computing techniques, such as MPI, OpenMP, GPU, etc.
