Biography

Yao Ji received his Bachelor’s degree from Xidian University in 2010 and his PhD in 2016 from Arizona State University, United States. Afterward, he relocated to Germany and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Regensburg, the University of Siegen, and the Technical University of Munich before joining the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, as an assistant professor in 2024.

His research interests cover formal and phenomenological aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the underlying theory describing the dominant interactions among subatomic particles. More specifically, he has made theoretical contributions to hadron structures and B-meson decays. He is also interested in exploring the potential applications of quantum computing in high-energy/particle physics.
