Biography:
I majored Physics in School of Physics and Information Engineering, Shanxi Normal University and got Bacherlor degree of Science in 2006. Then I was admitted to Shanxi University to deeply study in the field of atom, molecule and optics, and got Doctor degree of Science in 2012. After one year of working as a lecture title in the same university, I went to Durham University as a Postdoctoral Research Associate for one year investigation in coherent manipulation of ultracold molecule with Prof. Simon Lee Cornish in Department of Physics. I returned to State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Devices, Institute of Laser Spectroscopy, Shanxi University in 2014 and was promoted to Associate Professor and Professor in the ends of 2015 and 2021 respectively.
