I'm Ruoxi Li, a 5th-year math PhD student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My advisor is Felix Janda.
I'm on the job market this fall. Here's my CV.
My research area is algebraic geometry. I am primarily interested in enumerative geometry and moduli theory, with a focus on Gromov–Witten theory, cosection localization, and virtual localization. I am also interested in shifted symplectic geometry and logarithmic geometry, particularly in their applications to enumerative geometry.
