Biography

Ding received his bachelor’s degree from the Southern University of Science and Technology in 2019. He then pursued his PhD at Hong Kong Baptist University under the supervision of Prof. Lei-Han Tang, graduating in 2025. He then joined the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at Westlake University as a postdoc in May. During his doctoral studies, he focused on disordered systems, utilizing both numerical and analytical techniques. From December 2022 to June 2023, he was a visiting student at the Theoretical Molecular Science Laboratory at RIKEN, Japan, where he concentrated on the simulation of multicomponent protein condensates.

Ding has actively participated in academic activities, with his work presented at the APS March Meeting, STATPHYS28, and the IUPAB Congress 2024. He was also a participant in the 2024 Boulder Summer School. Currently, his research interests include applying statistical physics techniques to practical systems such as ecological systems and neural networks, as well as modeling multicomponent protein condensates.

In his spare time, he enjoys hiking and photography.
