My research interest is about Geometric analysis, Differential geometry and PDEs.
My main research topic is Harmonic maps and related geometric flow, for example, Conformal heat flow for harmonic maps and its bubbling phenomenon.
I am currently working on various topics including geometric flows, eigenvalue estimate of Laplacian, and anayltic approaches about topology, like rational homotopy groups.
