I'm a PhD student in Applied Math. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Theoretical & Applied Mechanics from Fudan University in China, and two Master's Degrees, one in Pure Math from Brandeis University, the other in Applied Math (Numerical Methods) from RPI. My current research focuses on the PDE modeling of swelling gels and its linear stability analysis (theoretically and numerically). Apart from research, I also have dozens of hobbies, including almost all kinds of sports, painting, chess, cooking, etc. (semi-professional in Chinese cuisine, volleyball and pool) for my free time.
