I am now a fourth year graduate student at Stanford University, advised by Ciprian Manolescu. Before that, I did my undergraduate at Peking University, where my advisor was Yi Xie.  Here is my CV.

My research focuses on homological invariants in low-dimensional topology, such as instanton Floer homology and Khovanov homology. I am also curious about representation theory and symplectic topology, especially how developments in these areas can deepen our understanding of link homology theories. I am fortunate to be supported by the Simons Dissertation Fellowship.

In a parallel universe, I might be an urban planner, a sociologist, or a songwriter.
