Yirong Yang 杨衣容

My curriculum vitae. I can be reached by email at yyang1@uw.edu.

My current career goals are:

• to explore and work on various open problems in combinatorics, especially those in the study of simplicial complexes as well as those in relation to topology;

• to improve my teaching and mentoring skills to encourage more people, especially those from underrepresented groups in the math community, to pursue their interest in math;

• to seek ways of applying my mathematical knowledge, abstract and creative thinking, and experience in research to solving real-world problems.

My non-mathematical interests are the visual arts, knitting, hiking, traveling, cooking, reading, and advocating for sustainability and slow fashion. 

You probably know me as Connie Yang if we met before 2017.
