I am an Assistant Research Fellow at the Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in May 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Nicolai V. Krylov.
Previously, I was a Van Vleck Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison 2024-2025, mentored by Prof. Dallas Albritton. Before that, I was a Prager Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics 2020-2023 and a Visiting Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Brown University 2023-2024, mentored by Profs. Hongjie Dong and Yan Guo.
My research interests are kinetic theory and partial differential equations.

Papers
Asymptotic Stability for Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau System in Bounded Domain (with Hongjie Dong and Yan Guo), 2024, submitted. The new version includes a global well-posedness result. Further improvements are as follows: enhanced control of instant energies, more precise decay estimates of instant energies, and a significantly improved presentation. The manuscript now comprises 99 pages.
