Here is my CV as of August 2023.
I am a post doctoral fellow in School of Mathematical and Statistical Science at Clemson University. My mentor is Michael Burr.
Before I joined Clemson, I was a SEW visiting assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego mentored by Jiawang Nie.
I received my Ph.D degree from Georgia Tech under the supervision of Anton Leykin.

Research Interests

My research interests are in the fields of nonlinear algebra and applied algebraic geometry. They broadly include :
  • Algorithms in numerical algebraic geometry :
    homotopy continuation, numerical certification
  • Applications in numerical algebraic geometry :
    game theory, algebraic statistics, combinatorics
  • Polyhedral geometry, tropical geometry, tensor rank problems
