Ran WEI (卫然)

I was born in Liuzhou, an industrial city in South China. I graduated from Liuzhou High School Guangxi in June, 2008. After that, I attended Nanjing University, studying mathematics. I received my Bachelor's degree in June, 2012. I soon enrolled in the Ph.D. program in mathematics at National University of Singapore. I studied probability theory, especially mathematical models from statistical physics, under the supervision of Rongfeng Sun. I received my Ph.D. in July, 2017.

Then I joined Tencent Technology in Shenzhen,  working for two years as a machine learning researcher. I finally decided to come back to academia. From November 2020 to October 2021,  I was a post-doc at LAMA, Université Paris-Est Créteil. My supervisor was  Amine Asselah.

From January 2021 to June 2023, I worked as an assistant researcher with special appointment (similar to research assistant professor in USA) at the Department of Mathematics, Nanjing University.

From August 2023, I joined the Department of Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University as an assistant professor.

My research interests lie in probability theory, mathematical physics and machine learning.
