About

I am an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) at the Department of Mathematics of Johns Hopkins University, starting from 2023.

I was an NSF Postdoc and L.E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago since August 2019. My mentor was Prof. Carlos Kenig.

From September 2018 to July 2019, I was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study during the Sepcial Year on Variational Methods in Geometry . My mentor was Prof. Camillo De Lellis .

In June 2018 I graduated from the University of Washington, and my advisor was Prof. Tatiana Toro.

Research

Broadly speaking my work lies in the intersection of Geometric Measure Theory, Geometric Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and PDEs.

I work on regularity problems of elliptic PDEs and generalized minimal submanifolds. In particular I am interested in the regularity of area-minimizing currents; unique continuation problems; the properties of the harmonic and elliptic measures and their relations to elliptic boundary value problem.

A complete list of my preprints can also be viewed on my arXiv page.
