I am an associate professor at Department of Mathematics of Texas A&M University. Before joining Texas A&M, I was an instructor at Department of Mathematics of Princeton University. I received my Ph.D. degree in the Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO) program at School of Mathematics of Georgia Institute of Technology under the supervision of Robin Thomas. The title of my thesis is Graph Structures and Well-quasi-ordering. Before I went to Georgia Tech, I got my B.S and M.S. degree from Department of Mathematics at National Taiwan University.

 

My research is partially supported by NSF under award DMS-1954054 and CAREER award DMS-2144042.
