I received my Ph.D. in 2025 from Harvard University under the supervision of Prof. Mihnea Popa. Starting Fall 2025, I will be a Ritt Assistant Professor at Columbia University. 

Before that, I was an undergraduate student at the National University of Singapore, working with Prof. Ser Peow Tan and Prof. Chee Whye Chin. 

Here is my CV. 

Research Interests:

Hodge Theory and Birational Geometry. 

My research is about using Hodge Theory to study singularities in Algebraic Geometry. In particular, I have focused on higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities, and their applications.  Recently, I am also interested in generic vanishing theory.
