Undergraduate Study & Grades
Academic Experience
During my undergraduate studies at SJTU(Shanghai Jiao Tong University), I demonstrated strong academic performance, which provided me with the opportunity to study abroad as an exchange student at UNSW (The University of New South Wales) for one semester. Additionally, I participated in the Future Scientist Exchange Program at USTC(University of Science and Technology of China) as a six-week summer research program. These experiences significantly enhanced both my academic profile and my research skills.
Grades

Personal Statement
During my first year at SJTU, I faced challenges adapting to the academic environment and dealing with pandemic-related restrictions. Despite initial setbacks and grade inflation in parallel classes, my academic performance steadily improved. I took additional mathematics courses and enrolled in General Relativity, while also auditing Gauge Field Theory, only reserved for graduate students. I further enhanced my understanding of theoretical physics through self-study and participation in the Southeast University Summer School on String Theory, Field Theory, and Holography.
I demonstrate strong self-learning abilities and a deep passion for theoretical physics beyond my coursework. To learn more about this, see my notes.
