Bio

I am currently a Dunham Jackson Assistant Professor (postdoctoral position) at the School of Mathematics of University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, where my mentor is Li Wang, and also working with Richard James, Mitchell Luskin and Alex Watson.

Before joining UMN in 2022, I spent one year in the Department of Mathematics of The Chinese University of Hong Kong as Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Renjun Duan and Liu Liu. Prior to CUHK, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from City University of Hong Kong in 2021, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Tong Yang in Partial Differential Equations and Kinetic Theory, as well as collaborating with Jingwei Hu in the numerical field of Kinetic Equations. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the South China University of Technology in 2017, where my advisors were Changjiang Zhu and Huanyao Wen.
