About

Welcome!

Starting in July 2026, I will join UCLA as a Hedrick Math Fellow, mentored by Professor Igor Pak.

I defended my Ph.D. dissertation in the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University in March 2026. The slides can be found here.

My Ph.D. advisor is Professor Siddhartha Sahi. My research focuses on symmetric functions, particularly interpolation Jack and Macdonald polynomials, Schur positivity, symmetric function inequalities, hypergeometric functions, and Selberg integrals.

I received my B.Sc. with honors from Beijing Normal University in June 2020.

You can find my CV here (last updated May 2026).
