I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics, The Ohio State University.
Previously I was a Prager Assistant Professor and Simon Bridge Postdoc at Brown University. My mentor was Hongjie Dong. I received my Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 2021 under the supervision of Yanyan Li. You may find my CV here.

(I no longer have access to my old Brown email.)
Office hours for Spring 26: MWF 4-5.
My research interests lie in analysis, partial differential equations, and fluid dynamics. My current research focuses on the regularity of elliptic equations/systems, high-contrast composite materials, and the Navier-Stokes equation. I am open to learning and engaging in different directions within the field of PDEs.
My research is supported by NSF Grant DMS-2550221 (transferred from DMS-2510251).
