Hi! I am a fifth year PhD student in the Department of Mathematics at Yale University. My advisor is Yair Minsky. Before coming to Yale, I obtained my bachelor degree at Peking University under the supervision of Yi Liu.
I'm interested in low-dimensional topology, hyperbolic geometry, foliations and pseudo-Anosov flows in 3-manifolds and geometric group theory.
I'm on the postdoc job market this fall. Here is my CV .
