Bio
I graduated from Tsinghua University in 2008 with BSc degree and completed my PhD at University Paris VI (now part of Sorbonne University) in 2013, supervised by Prof. Gilles Courtois. I was postdoc in Orsay, KIAS and Tsinghua before joining SEU in 2021.
Research
I am a mathematician interested in geometric structures on surfaces (hyperbolic, convex projective, circle pattern, etc.) and higher Teichmüller theory (Higgs bundle, surface group representation, etc.).
