About Me [ CV]

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in Mathematics at Texas A&M University, under the mentorship of Prof. Jianxin Zhou.
I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics at UCSD in June 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Jiawang Nie.
My research interests primarily lie in optimization. I work on stochastic and equilibrium optimization models arising from data science applications, aiming to certify their global optimality using classic optimization theory and real algebraic geometry.

I'm currently in the job market for a tenure-track or postdoctoral position.

Teaching

I'm teaching MATH 311 in Fall 2024. I am also an instructor in TAMU Math Circle.
