I am Zhenghao Rao (饶正昊), currently a Hill Assistant Professor at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. I completed my Ph.D. at Brown University in May 2024. I received my B.S. in 2019 at Peking University.
My research interest lies in low-dimensional topology. During my PhD career, I mainly focused on hyperbolic geometry and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Currently, I am particularly interested in circle packings and surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds.
I am a co-organizer of the Rutgers Geometry/Topology Seminar. Click here for the link to the year 2025-2026.
