Biography

Jiehang Zhang received his PhD from University of Maryland, working on precision measurements with laser-cooled radioactive atoms. He then worked on experimental trapped ion quantum information as a postdoc, realizing the first discrete time crystals, as well as simulation of quantum dynamics near the verge of classical intractability. He was an assistant professor in New York University, and professor in University of Science and Technology of China, prior to joining BIMSA.
