Hi, I'm Siyu Cheng — Physics PhD @Boston College

I build WITH and FOR AI: AI native research environment for quantum-materials experiments, instrument control, scientific workflows, and AI agents for lab work.

My favorite AI harness is OpenCode, favorite model is gpt-5.x.

What I build

• Instrument control: Quantum experiment controllers, measurement interfaces, and lab automation.
• Agent tooling: CLI layers, harnesses, and runtime surfaces for scientific software.
• AI-for-science evaluation: workflows that test agents against real data and procedures.
• Fun stuff with LLM: LLM is my favorite toy.

• QUAILBot-Pi — QUAIL for Quantum Uncertain Action-outcome Instrument Loop. QUAILBot-Pi is a Pi Agent extension built for controlling quantum physics instruments that require real-time smart-decision-in-loop action instead of hard-coded scripts.
• quail-cli-core — A universal quantum physics instrument CLI driver dev kit for quailbots and any other AI agents.
• Bethesda Games Modding Superpowers — An agentic skills and tools framework for end-to-end modding Bethesda Game Studio games such as Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV/4, and Starfield.
• omo-slim-superpowers-patch-kit — A patch kit that makes oh-my-opencode-slim and Superpowers work together. 1+1<2 if without the patch, but now 1+1>2.
• Fallout-Wastland-Simulation — A full LLM-driven RPG open-world simulation mini game.

My research

I work in experimental quantum physics at Boston College, with STM, cryogenic systems, and strongly correlated quantum materials.
