Research Info
I am a final year Ph.D. student at Boston University POPV Group working with Professor Marco Gaboardi. I am currently looking for PostDoc position starting around Fall 2024.
In general, I am interested in applying abstract mathematical techniques in Algebra and Logic to practical problems in Program Semantics and Verification. I generally enjoy Mathematics, Computer Science, and their intersections.
Specifically, I am interested in using algebraic technique to develop general, reusable, and modular program verification techniques, and exploring their specific use cases in the real world.
I am the organizer of BU POPV Seminar, and category theory reading group. I have previously organized a Coq reading group. Please contact me if you are interested giving a talk at any of these events.

Hobbies
I enjoy cooking, food, coffee, gardening with my wife, and hang out with my pet rabbits. I sometimes read about coffee and old Chinese poetry; I kept a tiny blog of some poetries and lyrics I translated and wrote. These translations are generally terrible, but I am trying to get better.
