I. BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Professor, Ph.D., Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Postdoctoral Fellow, German Institute of Heavy Ions (https://www.gsi.de), Senior scientist, European Union ELI-Beamlines Research Institute (https://www.eli-beams.eu), joined Shantou University in 2021. He is engaged in theoretical, experimental and diagnostic research on intense laser physics and high energy density physics. His current research interests include theoretical study of new mechanisms of high energy laser plasma heating, X-ray absorption and phase contrast imaging, particle simulation of high field laser physics, generation of terahertz laser plasma sources, and experimental studies of ultrafast and attosecond physics. He has published about 30 articles in journals such as Physics Review Letters, Physics of Plasmas, High Power Laser Science and Engineering.

In 2024, I plan to recruit two master's degree students, who are engaged in experimental (including but not limited to X-ray imaging research, and the joint training with the Guangdong Dongjiang Laboratory of Modern Physics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and theoretical research (PIC particle simulation, and the joint training with Shanghai Jiao Tong University).
