About Me

I am an applied mathematician with a background in numerical analysis and scientific computing. I received my B.Sc. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where I also minored in Mathematical Economics, and later earned my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.

My academic work centers on computational mathematics—especially high-order numerical methods and large-scale scientific computing. I am interested in how abstract ideas take shape as algorithms and computational tools for understanding complex systems.

Beyond academia, I am drawn to the steady disciplines of strength training and the study of longevity. I have practiced barbell-based strength training for years and have more recently started training in mixed martial arts. These pursuits cultivate focus, patience, and consistency—qualities that matter as much in mathematical work as they do in the gym.

Both mathematics and training have taught me to value process over immediate results. Progress is usually incremental, and distant goals are built through repeated, deliberate effort.

I see mathematics as a long discipline of the mind: it sharpens how we observe, reason, and build, while teaching us to trust the gradual accumulation of insight.

Just as strength training gradually shapes the body, I see mathematics as a long discipline of the mind—one that sharpens how we observe, reason, and build. It reminds me to stay rooted in the process rather than fixated on outcomes, and to trust in the slow, steady accumulation of insight.

Do not to overestimate what can be done in a day, and never to underestimate what can be built in a year.
