Q2B Studio covered our causal retrieval work, focusing on how deep uplift modeling can reduce shopping-candidate triggers by up to 85% while preserving key shopping sessions and improving engagement.

“MESH: Scaling Up Retrieval with Heterogeneous Content Unification” was selected for a long oral presentation at ACM RecSys 2026.

“Deep-learning Causal Retrieval Optimization for Efficient e-commerce Distribution in Pinterest” was selected for an oral presentation at KDD 2026.

Quantum Zeitgeist covered our work on epidemic dynamics in quantum networks, highlighting how network sparsity shapes their apparent resilience to virus spreading.

I was invited back to UT Dallas to give the Physics Colloquium “When Physics meets Computer Science: two case studies of quantum Internet and machine-guided optical inverse design.”

The momentum-space Josephson effects proposed in our 2018 work were experimentally observed in weakly coupled Bose–Einstein condensates.

I was invited to give a Physics Theory Seminar at Washington University in St. Louis on “Virus spread in quantum Internet.”

I received the David Daniel Thesis Award, the highest dissertation honor from UT Dallas’s Dean of Graduate Education.

“Nonlinear Dynamics in a Synthetic Momentum-State Lattice” was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion by Physical Review Letters.

The phase-driven Josephson dynamics proposed in our 2018 work were realized in a synthetic momentum-state lattice.

“Experimental realization of a non-magnetic one-way spin switch” was selected for Nature Communications’ monthly Editors’ Highlights.

Newsweek covered our proposal for a superfluid quasicrystal under the headline “Superfluid Quasicrystal: Physicists Propose an Entirely New Form of Matter—And How to Make It”; the work was also featured by ScienceDaily, Phys.org, UT Dallas News, and AAAS’s EurekAlert.
