I
completed my undergraduate studies in mathematics at Beijing University
in 1987
and did my graduate studies, also in mathematics, at Harvard University. I got my PhD degree in 1995, under the
guidance of Prof. S.-T. Yau. I then spent a year as a postdoc in Europe
(IHES
in France and Ruhr University in Germany) and four years as a Ritt
assistant professor
at Columbia University, before joining UIC in 2000.
My research interests, described in more detail below, are
in the broad field of differential geometry.
