My current research focuses on rare-event physics experiments (eg. dark matter direct detection, neutrino-less double beta decay) and related ultra-low background technologies and their applications. I'm now working on China Dark matter Experiment (CDEX) carried out in China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) with p-type point contact germanium detectors.
