I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Central Florida. I received my Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of New Hampshire in 2010 under the supervision of Richard V. Kadison (Gustave C. Kuemmerle Professor of Mathematics, University of Pennsylvania) and Liming Ge (Professor of Mathematics, University of New Hampshire; L. K. Hua Research Chair, Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Prior to joining UCF, I was a Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania (2010 ~ 2012) and a Postdoc at the University of Denver (2012 ~ 2013).
