About


I am a graduate student in the Physics Department at Clark University. Professor Harvey Gould is my advisor. I came to Clark on August 15, 1999 from the People's Republic of China after I received my M.S. degree from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in July, 1999. During this time, I finished advanced courses at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). I received my B.S. degree from Shandong University.

I currently work with Harvey Gould at Clark University and William Klein at Boston University. I am doing computer simulations on earthquakes by applying several statistical models such as Burridge-Knopoff spring-block model, and its cellular atomata versions ( the Olami-Feder-Christensen and the Rundle-Jackson-Brown Models).  For my master's thesis, I developed  molecular dynamics and microscopic structure analysis programs to investigate the microstructure evolution of liquid metals and semiconductors during the crystallization and glass formation under ultra-fast quench.  Please see research for more detailed information.
