About me
I am an assistant professor at
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Indiana State University,
having obtained my PhD in Mathematics under the supervision of Professor Wenzhi Luo at Ohio State University, and BS/MS in Mathematics
at Shandong University, China, thanks for many Professors’ spiritual mentorship
and support.
I have been a learner, teacher
and researcher at many different institutions, and have studied and worked from
China to US, from the Midwest to the East Coast, from Ohio State to ECSU, then
Princeton (mentored by Professor Peter Sarnak), Yale,
UNH and UConn before joining ISU. Working and studying through these
institutions, I have always met many fabulous friends and marvelous mentors,
needless to say, I learn so much from them. I have also taught a variety of
courses in math and statistics. Teaching and learning mathematics is always an
enjoyable and rewarding experience for me.
My research background is in
Number Theory, Graph Theory and their applications on Cryptography and Data
Analysis. I am also interested in the fascinating relations between number
theory and physics through L-functions and trace formulae, which bridge over
various mathematical realms, such as arithmetic, analysis and geometry.
Besides mathematics, I enjoy
running, swimming, staying with my family, and learning from everyone else.
