News and Updates

  • April 2024: An upcoming zoom Interview with Prof. Kentaro Nagamine at Osaka University in Japan for the application of Master’s program.

  • May 15, 2024: Interview with Osaka’s was finished. The interview lasted 50 minutes and I was exhausted. In the evening, I also passed my Bachelor‘s thesis defence.

  • May 20, 2024: Application to the Osaka Univerity was rejected. This interview was my last chance. This is a very unexpected failure because the professor there is one of my supervisor’s collaborator. My supervisor suggests I prepare for the next year’s application. But I haven’t decided yet.

  • Nov 30, 2024: Northwestern, WUSTL, UCSD

  • Dec. 14, 2024: Fall quarter in UCSB ended yesterdasy. Today I updated my personal page for a new cycle of PhD application.

  • Dec. 15, 2024: Stony Brook, Purdue, Dartmouth

  • Dec. 18, 2024: Dr. Jens Mahlmann in Dartmouth shows a interest to my background. However, it is I that didn’t catch the deadline of PhD program in Dartmouth because the final week falls exactly before the deadline, and I was so busy with the final of my graudate courses at UCSB. This became a great pity for me. The professor invited me to apply to the Dartmouth next year. But I want to go to graduate school next year, not the year after next year. The only way is moving forward to keep search more potential opportunities!

  • Jan 2, 2025: UCSC, UIUC: UIUC didn’t submit payment.

  • Jan 5, 2025: University of Virginia, Syracuse University
  • Jan 12, 2025: Penn State
