YIMING ZHONG

I am an assistant professor at the Department of Physics, the City University of Hong Kong. My research area lies at the intersection of theoretical particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. I completed my B.Sc. degree at Nankai University, China, and my master's degree at the University of Waterloo through the Perimeter Scholars International program. In 2016, I obtained my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Rouven Essig at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics of Stony Brook University. After that, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Boston University (2016-2019) and a KICP Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics of the University of Chicago (2019-2023).
