I have close collaborations with multiple institutions around the world, and am always looking forward to working with passinonate students/postdocs/visiting scholars who have mutual research interests. If you are interested in my research, please contact: hao@ustc.edu.cn. In Chinese, 'Hao' means good, so my last name already tells you which type of person I am.
