I am a third-year graduate student in mathematics at MIT, and a founding member of polyfold lab (group photos 1, 2, Jiayong and Jason missing). My advisor is Katrin Wehrheim. I turn Lagrangian correspondences into functors.

Here is my CV.

Papers

• Figure eight bubbles in pseudoholomorphic quilts
  with Katrin Wehrheim.
  in preparation; pp. currently around 50.

• Elliptic solutions of the defocusing NLS equation are stable
  with Bernard Deconinck and Michael Nivala.
  Journal of Physics A 44 (2011), no. 28, 285201, 24 pp.

• KdV cnoidal waves are spectrally stable
  with Bernard Deconinck.
  Discrete and continuous dynamical systems 25 (2009), no. 4, 1163–1180.

Expository writing

• Uhlenbeck compactness lecture 1, lecture 2
  These are the notes from 4 hours of lectures I gave in Gigliola Staffilani's graduate analysis seminar in November 2012. I borrowed heavily from Katrin Wehrheim's Uhlenbeck Compactness. Read Katrin's book if you want to really understand the subject, but if you want a quick tour take a look at my notes.

Miscellaneous

• I am organizing the symplectic lunch seminar at MIT during Spring 2013.

• I am one of the authors of The Electric Handle Slide, check it out!

• Here is my author listing on MathSciNet.
