I am currently in Sergei Gukov's research group since 2023 October. I'm interested in interactions between mathematical physics (physical mathematics) and topology.
I finished my Ph.D program in physics from UC Davis in 2021 September. My Ph.D thesis "Topics in Quantum Topology" can be found in here (an edited version).
I graduated from University of Southern California (bachelor) and from Cornell University (master).
Research Interests
Mathematical physics (physical mathematics): topological quantum field theory, conformal field theory, supersymmetric gauge theory, topological string theory.
Low dimensional topology: links, 3-manifolds, 4-manifolds, categorification, q-series, and skein module.
