Lecturer Intro
I obtained my Bachelor's and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Science and Technology of China. Before my current position as an assistant professor at BIMSA, I was a postdoc at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University. My research interests lie in using topological methods (cobordism) to study theoretical physics (anomaly).
