I'm currently interested in geometric analysis. Lately, I've been working on problems involving highly symmetric Einstein manifolds and gradient Ricci solitons. Right now, my research is focused on four-dimensional Ricci flow, but I'm keen to explore other areas down the track.Â
I'm planning to apply for PhD programs starting in Fall 2026.
