About me

I'm currently a Hale Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Mathematics, Georgia Institute of Technology, supervised by Professor Xingxing Yu.

I received my PhD in Mathematics from the University of South Carolina (2015-2020) under the supervision of Professor Linyuan Lu.

My research interests lie in probabilistic and extremal combinatorics, structural graph theory, discrete geometry, spectral (hyper)graph theory, applications of combinatorics to theoretical computer science, probabilistic graphical models, artificial intelligence and bioinformatics. My Erdős number is 2 .

For more information on my research, please see my CV and Google Scholar Page.
