I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at William & Mary since August 2025.
Before joining William & Mary, I was a Milnor lecturer at IMS, Stony Brook University from Fall 2022 to Spring 2025. In 2021-2022, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, in the group of Ursula Hamenstädt. I received my PhD in mathematics from Harvard University in May 2021, advised by Curtis McMullen. Before that, I was an undergrad at the University of Hong Kong.
My research interests include hyperbolic 3-manifolds and Kleinian groups, and their connections to Teichmüller theory, homogeneous dynamics, complex dynamics, circle packings and number theory.
My CV is available here.
