About Me
Hi, I am Rongsong (Ron) Yang and I'm a four-year graduate student in Mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Madison advised by Caglar Uyanik!
I spent two years of my undergraduate in Computer Science at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021. Inspired by Polymath REU during summer 2020, I switched to Mathematics.
Here is my CV.
Research Interests
I'm interested in outer automorphism group of free groups, random walk on groups, and in particular comparing boundary measures on free groups.
