I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow in Université Côte d'Azur, France ( funded by the ERC grant project Ansur of François LABOURIE and Jérémy TOULISSE ) .
Previously, I was a postdoc member in Heidelberg University, Germany, from January 2021 to July 2022 and a postdoc member in Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, from August 2022 to August 2024.
I graduated from Rice university, United state, in May 2020, under the supervision of Michael WOLF.
My research interests are in geometry and dynamics of (higher) Teichmuller spaces and negatively curved manifolds.
Where I stand on AI and mathematics: I agree with what this blog post says. I believe that mathematics has traditionally been, and should always remain, a human pursuit of beauty and intellectual understanding, much like music and the other arts. The subject here is humanity. As a human mathematical community, we should preserve the continuity and development of mathematics as a human endeavor. If, one day, extraterrestrial beings came to Earth and discovered that the major achievements of human civilization had all been produced by silicon-based beings, they too would be disappointed in human civilization.
