About

Jintian Wang

I'm an MPhys physics student at the University of Oxford (Exeter College), originally from Shanghai. I like building things end to end: from solving the differential equations, to writing the code, to soldering the hardware that makes it move.

My work sits at the intersection of physics, computation, and interaction: VR hand-tracking systems, transformers built from scratch, fine-tuned language models, and a DIY 3D printer. This site collects those projects along with notes and writing.

Education

MPhys in Physics — University of Oxford

Exeter College · 2025 – 2029

Studying theoretical and experimental physics on the four-year MPhys course.

Guanghua Cambridge International School

Shanghai · 2022 – 2025

A-Levels in Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science — all at A*.

Experience & activities

AdventureX Hackathon

Hangzhou · July 2025

Built OneTouchReality with two teammates: an interactive bionic robotic arm combining Python computer vision, Unity VR control, and Arduino hardware. I designed and implemented the virtual-to-physical synchronization — the system that later evolved into SecondTouchReality.

Physics Club — Vice President

Guanghua Cambridge · 2024 – 2025

Led weekly club sessions exploring physics beyond the syllabus, with a focus on where frontier technology meets fundamental principles.

Independent research (IPQ)

Shanghai · 2023 – 2024

Studied the period of a physical pendulum oscillating in water: surveyed the literature, built two independent models by solving the governing differential equations, then designed experiments to test the models against each other.
