I am an Assistant Professor at MIT.

My research focuses on symplectic topology, though my research projects are related to or inspired by nearby fields, including low-dimensional topology, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, and dynamics.

More recently, I've attempted to pick up some representation theory and number theory, which will be reflected in forthcoming work. Here is my CV.

Organization and Service

Guangbo Xu and I organized Rutgers Symplectic Summer School 2024 and 2025.

I served as a mentor for the 2024 Kylerec workshop.

I co-organized Columbia Symplectic Geometry and Gauge Theory Seminar.
