Currently I am mentoring 2 graduate students:
Minyoung Jeong
Yuanfan Wang
In the past I mentored:
Gonping Niu (graduate student)
Davide Parise (Postdoc)
If you are interested in doing a Ph.D. with me, send me an email and we will arrange a meeting. I would suggest doing so in your first year.
To understand what type of mathematics I do, I recommend looking at the following Notices of the AMS articles:
On Bernoulli-Type Elliptic Free Boundary Problems (D. De Silva)
The concept of varifold (U. Menne)
Monotonicity formulas in the Calculus of Variations (L. Spolaor)
In Fall 2025 I will be teaching MATH 140A and MATH 240A. The website of the courses will be on Canvas.
Here is a list of the courses I taught since joining UCSD
MATH 240AB
MATH 250AB
MATH 140ABC
