Biography

I moved to the U.S. in 2016 to pursue my Ph.D. in Mathematics at Florida State University (FSU), where I received rigorous training in pure mathematics. My academic career began at Haverford College, where I served as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Statistics. At Haverford, I expanded my pedagogical methods and concentrated my research on topological and geometric approaches to data science problems. In 2024, I transitioned to 蘑菇短视频 as an Assistant Professor, where I continue to advance my research and broaden my pedagogical approach.

Teaching Interests

I enjoy teaching a wide variety of courses within the mathematics curriculum, ranging from first-year statistics and calculus to mid-level courses like linear algebra, as well as the most advanced electives related to my research for juniors and seniors. This allows me to work with students at different stages in their education and with diverse academic interests. My educational mission is to guide my students in deepening their mathematical understanding, building confidence as problem solvers, and enhancing their critical thinking skills. To achieve this, I use active learning methods such as flipped classrooms and discussion-based group activities. I'm also interested in exploring other modern, student-centered learning strategies, including peer instruction and inquiry-based learning methods.

Research Interests

My research is in geometric and topological data analysis. More precisely, I use tools from metric geometry, optimal transport theory, and algebraic topology to develop new methods to analyze data with complex structure. I'm interested in both mathematical theory and concrete applications. I have explored the theoretical foundations of geometric and topological data analysis (GTDA) and am currently focused on topological-based analysis of weather regimes. I also enjoy involving students in my research; having advised four senior theses on the topological data analysis, I look forward to continuing this collaborative approach with future students.
