I am an Assistant Professor at Department of Mathematics, University of California, Santa Cruz.
I work in Riemannian geometry; more precisely, the interplay between Ricci curvature and topology, (equivariant) Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, and Ricci limit spaces. I am also interested in Lorentzian geometry and subRiemannian geometry.
I received my Ph.D. degree in 2018 from Rutgers University - New Brunswick, advised by Xiaochun Rong. Before coming to UC Santa Cruz, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at UC Santa Barbara during AY 18-21, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Fields Institute during AY 21-22.

Besides mathematics, I enjoy reading election analysis, playing Metroidvania and puzzle games, and hiking.
