• About me: I am an Associate Professor in the Math Department at the University of Oklahoma (OU). I obtained my PhD in Math in 2011 from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). I was at Northwestern University from 2008 to 2010, at Peking University (PKU) from 2010 to 2012, at University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) from 2012 to 2014, at University of Houston (UH) from 2014 to 2015, at University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from 2015 to 2017, and have been at OU since 2017.
