I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and I am very fortunate to be advised by Thatchaphol Saranurak. I have a broad interest in theoretical computer science, especially in graph algorithms and data structures.
Prior to that, I was an undergraduate student at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University. During the spring and summer of 2020, I also made a wonderful research visit at UMich, advised by Seth Pettie.
In the fall of 2023, I was a visiting student at the Simons Institute for the Data Structures and Optimization for Fast Algorithms program.
