I’m a final-year PhD student at Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, under the supervision of Dr. Anthea Monod, fully funded by the President’s Scholarship.

My current research focuses on the computation of tropical Abel-Jacobi transform of metric graphs. You can find my recent work here. Previously I worked on statistical approximation of persistence diagrams of large datasets via subsampling. You can find this work here.

I obtained my master’s and bachelor’s degree at Beijing Institute of Technology under the supervision of Dr. Huafei Sun. My master thesis is about the construction of the second fundamental form estimator on Euclidean submanifolds. You can find this work here.

My research interests span across applied differential and algebraic geometry, topological data analysis, statistical methodology, and various real-world applications.
