About Me

Welcome! I am a PhD student in Mathematics at Cornell University, working under the supervision of Philippe Sosoe. My research focuses on probability theory and related topics.
Prior to starting my PhD, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics at University of Washington in 2023.

Research Interests
My current research lies at the intersection of probability theory and functional inequalities. I am particularly interested in understanding the progress towards the KLS conjecture.
Research Area 1
Analyze high dimensional log-concave distribution by functional inequalities, optimal transport, and stochastic localization.
Research Area 2
Use the discrete Fourier transform to understand functions on the Boolean cube.
Research Area 3
Investigate Markov chains, including their stationary distribution and mixing time.
