I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics. My advisor is Prof. Jeffrey Viaclovsky. My research interests span various areas of mathematics. Beyond mathematics, I enjoy heavy metal music and kickboxing.

You can find my publications on my Google Scholar page.

Here are my social media accounts: Linkedin, X. Always happy to connect!

I share the same English (Pinyin) name with several other outstanding Chinese researchers, though it seems I am the only one in mathematics research.

Research Interests

Geometric Analysis and Geometric Flows, especially collapsing behavior in moduli spaces and geometric flows. Here is a glimpse of my research.
