Research I am a postdoc at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University advised by Shing Tung-Yau. I graduated from Northwestern University with a PhD in Mathematics. My PhD advisor was Eric Zaslow. I graduated from Stanford University with B.S. in Mathematics with Honors, and M.S. in Computer Science. Here is my CV, and Google Scholar webpage. My research interests are Gromov-Witten Invariants, Mirror Symmetry, Algebraic Geometry, Mathematical Physics, Symplectic Geometry. I also have interests in Machine Learning and Mathematical Finance. Here's a link to the seminar webpage of YMSC. |
