I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.  Previously, I was a Hill Assistant Professor at Rutgers University, mentored by Professor Nataša Šešum. I obtained my PhD at University of California San Diego, advised by Professor Bennett Chow and Professor Lei Ni.

My main research interests lie in geometric analysis, and more specifically, intrinsic and extrinsic geometric flows, with an emphasis on Ricci flow and its applications to geometry and topology. I am also interested in some other geometric PDEs, such as the Cheeger-Colding theory and its applications to Riemannian and Kähler geometry.
