Welcome to my homepage!
I am a researcher at the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), since July 2025.
I completed my PhD in 2021, at Aix-Marseille Université under the supervision of Prof. François Hamel and at University of Science and Technology of China under the supervision of Prof. Xing Liang. I was a Postdoc at the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse during March 2022 to January 2024, mentored by Dr. Grégory Faye and Prof. Jean-Michel Roquejoffre. Then, I was TIRIS Chair for Junior Fellowship Program, funded by Université de Toulouse, working at the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse from February 2024 until July 2025.
