I am a fifth year PhD student at University of California, Berkeley, studying statistical mechanics of dimers. From 2021–2022 I was a visiting scholar at Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University, Beijing. My advisor is Nicolai Reshetikhin.

I completed my undergrad and masters in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Before coming to Berkeley, I spent a year as a software engineer working on self driving cars at FiveAI in Cambridge, UK.

Aside from math, I enjoy sailing, windsurfing, rock climbing, diving, hiking, backpacking and mountain biking. I speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
