Rong Liao
PhD student in Physics/Quantum Science and Technology
I am a PhD student at the School of Physical Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China. I work on quantum information and measurement devices, with a focus on thermal noise in ultrastable optical systems for gravitational-wave detection and optical atomic clocks. I am advised by Prof. Yongheng Huo in Jian-Wei Pan's group.
