Welcome#
Welcome. I use this blog to collect notes and some random stuffs I do. The nickname fermion comes from a concept in quantum manybody physics. It is a class of microscopic particles that is unique in the sense that no two fermions can have the same quantum numbers. To some level, we as humen are also like fermions: each of us (or our state, to be more precise) is unique. Hence the nickname.
What I do for living#
I’m currently a Research Data Specialist. Before that, I was a Data Scientist working on retail demand forecast and price optimization. Before that, I was a theoretical condensed matter physicist using quantum Monte Carlo methods to study properties of strongly correlated electron systems.
Things I like to do when I’m not working#
Jogging and badminton. Because my job requires a lot of screen time, I try to stay away from my computer when I am not at work. Jogging keeps me in shape, and badminton is a racket sport I really like since high school.
Flute playing. I’m a flute enthusiast. I have been taking lessons since 2014. My favorite flutists include Peter-Lukas Graf, Emmanuel Pahud, Patrick Gallois, and Denis Bouriakov. In terms of flute music, I like those written by composers in the Baroque and Classical eras. J. S. Bach’s flute sonata and Mozart’s flute quartets are my all time favorite. Modern French composers like Debussy, Faure, and Gaubert also have some very sweet flute music.
Astrophotography. I started doing astrophotography recently. Back then when I was still a student, I was very interested in astrophotography but could not afford to do it because equipments such as the mount and telescope were expensive (they still are today). It is until a few years ago I was able to get into this hobby. The seeing in my neighborhood is pretty decent, so I am able to snap pretty nice pictures in my backyard. Here is my Astrobin page.
