I graduated from Fudan University (BS Mathematics 2000; MS Applied Mathematics 2003) and Purdue University (PhD Applied Mathematics 2007, Advisor: Zhilan Feng). I was a postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2007 to 2009 (Advisor: Alan S. Perelson) and faculty at Oakland University from 2010 to 2017. Since 2017, I am in the Biomathematics group at the University of Florida.
