About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Yale University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Manolis Zampetakis and Ilias Zadik. I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science, particularly algorithms, computational complexity, and their intersection with mathematics.

Prior to Yale, I obtained my M.S. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, working with Pravesh Kothari. I completed my undergraduate studies in the Turing Class at Peking University, advised by Qian Li.
