I am currently a Math Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where my mentor is Prof. Guofang Wei. Before joining UCSB, I was a Hill Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, with Prof. Xiaochun Rong as my mentor. I received my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from Lehigh University under the supervision of Prof. Huai-Dong Cao.
My research interests are Differential Geometry, Ricci Flow, and Mean Curvature Flow.
