Operator algebra, especially subfactor theory, II_1 factors and C*-algebras, (unitary/braided) tensor category, and low dimensional higher category theory. 

 I am a postdoc at Vanderbilt University starting in 2023 fall under the supervision of Dietmar Bisch.

I received my Ph.D. from the Ohio State University in 2023 spring under the supervision of David Penneys. 

Previously, I completed my B.Math in 2017 from Zhejiang University, China.

I am originally from Hangzhou, China.
