I study geometric and analytic questions on graphs and manifolds.

Curvature, spectra, and the geometry behind them.

I joined the direct-entry PhD program in mathematics at Fudan University in 2025. Before joining Fudan, I studied mathematics at South China Normal University.

My main area is discrete geometric analysis, especially geometric structures on graphs, discrete curvature, and spectral questions related to discrete Einstein metrics. I also work on geometric analysis on manifolds, including volume growth, stochastic processes, and curvature flows.

Research tools

I build small systems to make long mathematical projects easier to resume, inspect, and verify.

Open source · research infrastructure

Graph Geometry Research Workspace

I built this workbench to organize research in discrete geometry and geometric analysis with Codex. It keeps track of proof attempts, dependencies, and computational evidence so that I can resume a problem without losing its history. The public repository shares the framework and project templates.
