Welcome to my website! My name is Yau Wing Li, with Yau Wing as my given name.
I am currently a Research Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Melbourne, under the supervision of Professor Kari Vilonen. I am interested in representation theory, particularly geometric representation theory and affine Hecke categories.
Previously, I held a postdoctoral position at the Institute for Advanced Study, under the supervision of Professor Jacob Lurie.
I completed my PhD in 2021 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Zhiwei Yun.
You can find my full CV here, including information on talks, travel, and academic service. Last updated in August 2025.

The University of Melbourne acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia. We recognise the unique place held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the original custodians of country and their continued connection to the land, waterways, songlines and culture. I am fortunate to live and work on the land of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung peoples. I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
