About me

Hello! I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Auburn University, where I began in Fall 2023. From 2020 to 2023, I was a Golomb Visiting Assistant Professor at Purdue University. I received my Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2020 from the University of Wisconsin–Madison under the supervision of Brian Street. Here is my CV. 

Together with Yuming Paul Zhang and Le Chen, I co-organize the Seminar on Analysis and Stochastic Analysis (SASA) at Auburn University. We warmly welcome speakers from a broad range of areas in analysis, and if you are interested in delivering a talk and visiting our beautiful campus, please feel free to contact me. 

I am also initiating Auburn’s first Problem-Solving Seminar, designed to prepare undergraduate students for the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, which is expected to officially launch in Fall 2026. 

In addition to my research and teaching, I am passionate about designing playful and interactive math-based HTML games. I enjoy combining deep math results with creative programming, and you can explore some of these projects on Playful Math.
