My name is Zhong-Zhi Xianyu (鲜于中之) . I am a physicist working on theoretical particle physics and cosmology.

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the High Energy Theory Group, Department of Physics, Harvard University. I got my Ph.D. in physics from the Center for High Energy Physics, Tsinghua University in 2015.

I have been working on several different aspects of particle physics and cosmology. In recent years I am particularly fascinated by the theory of cosmic inflation, a physical framework describing our own universe at its earliest stage. I am most interested in its connection with other branches of physics, including fundamental particle physics, gravitational theory, and quantum information theory. I also have omnivorous interest in many different areas of physics, astrophysics and condensed matter physics for instance.

Besides physics, I am a fervent fan of classical music, a lover of poetry and philosophy, and a regular exerciser.

I keep a blog String Quartet (in Chinese). Older posts can be found here. My profile page at INSPIRE-HEP can be visited here, and I have a rarely used Facebook account.
