He was a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, California Institute of Technology from 2011 to 2015. He graduated from the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Tsinghua University in 2011, where he was awarded the degree of Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. From 2008 to 2009, he studied in the University of Wisconsin at Madison as a visiting PhD student. His research interests lie in the applied analysis and numerical computation of problems arising from quantum chemistry, wave propagation, porous media, biomechanics, sparse Bayesian learning, and uncertainty quantification (UQ) for stochastic fluid dynamics and random heterogeneous media.
