About me
This semester, I am at SLMath/MSRI as a postdoctoral fellow. Starting January 2025, I will be an assistant professor at the University of Toronto.
Previously I was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University from 2021-2024.
My research interests lies in complex geometry, geometric analysis, and nonlinear PDEs.
In Spring 2025, I will be teaching MAT458/MAT1001: Real Analysis II.
