Research I am a postdoc at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University advised by Shing Tung-Yau. I graduated with a PhD in Mathematics from Northwestern University, where my 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 in Geometry and Mathemaitical Physics, as well as AI, quantum computing, and mathematical finance. Here's a link to the seminar webpage of YMSC. |
