Hi, I'm Chen,  

who is curious about how our universe and our minds work


I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in theoretical fundamental physics at the Institute for Advanced Study of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology [link]. My previous studies include various topics such as the UV completion of the Standard Model, quark matter, compact stars and related gravitational-wave studies, and the quantum probe of curved spacetime (like Black holes). My recent research focuses on dense matter, compact stars, black holes, and gravitational waves. I am also starting my research interest in AI for physics.

My research has led to many papers in high-impact journals, including three in Physical Review Letters. My pioneer research on up-down quark matter (udQM) has led to worldwide media reports, including Science and Science Magazine.  Recently, my work on a new detection method of gravitational waves has been reported by Nature (See the "On News" page).
