I am a postdoc at the Shanghai Center for Mathematical Sciences at Fudan University. Previously, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor (postdoc) in mathematics at Boston College, mentored by Qile Chen. I completed my PhD at Columbia University, advised by Melissa Liu. My research is in algebraic geometry, particularly higher-genus Gromov-Witten theory.

You may also know me from:

• UMass Amherst, where I was advised by Paul Hacking and also majored in computer science.
• We may have met at a conference or a seminar.

I study both geometric and computational aspects of enumerative geometry, particularly in higher genus. See these notes or this SCGP program for an introduction to some themes in enumerative geometry.

Besides doing math, I also enjoy running and playing the piano. I also like to learn about the historical evolution of Chinese dialects. I'm always open to suggestions for affordable but legitimately high-quality Sichuan cuisine.
