Yizhi You’s research focuses on a variety of problems in the field of quantum many-body theory. Her primary focus is the study of collective phenomena arising due to quantum mechanical effects in systems of correlated electrons. Areas of research include the study of fracton phases of matter, quantum field theory, and entanglement dynamics.

Yizhi received her Ph.D. from UIUC in 2017 and has since been a research associate at Princeton University.
