Zhongyue Zhang

• Actualized theoretical frameworks into practical prototype in collaboration with theoreticians, engineers and technicians, leading to one published paper and another one in writing. • Commissined and integrated cryogenic amplifier, magnet systems and cutting-edge detectors with calibration, characterization and environmental influence testing. • Executed and sustained uninterrupted terabyte-scale data acquisition over extended runs , enabling performance benchmarking and statistically robust results.

Designed and excuted a proof-of-concept prototype to search for dark matter candidates, created a platform for futher experimental advancements and verified its feasibility for diverse applications, including gravitational wave detections.

A joint thesis project with the Department of Microelectronics in Delft University of technology, NL and the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON), to design and commissioned a calibration experiment with mechanical modulation and quasi-optics photonics system, in high-vaccum, cryogenic, and semi-clean room conditions for on-chip MKIDs spectrometer DESHIMA.

• obtained a Nachfach degree in Latin • Exchange semester in University of Hawaii (Summer 2015) to study telescope control systems on Mauna Kea and CCD camera arrays.
