Jian Wei CHEONG
Hi, I am Jian Wei, a Physics research fellow in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
My research interests are in the fields of quantum information and quantum thermodynamics.
I play with Linux and do programming for fun.
I believe in the efficiency of workflow. Everything should be as painless as possible, doing more with less.
