I am currently a Ph.D. student at EPFL. My supervisor is Prof. Zsolt Patakfalvi. You can find my CV here.

Research Interests

• Algebraic geometry in positive characteristics
• Birational geometry

Writings

• Automorphisms of odd dimensional (2,2)-complete intersections in characteristic 2. arXiv
• On split coverings of Calabi-Yau threefolds in positive characteristics (Master thesis).
• On the bounded negativity conjecture (Bachelor thesis).
• Notes on algebraic geometry This is my own notes summarizing important propositions in the foundations of algebraic geometry, which might be useful for recollections. Still not finished.

• Tutor of Mathematik II für Physiker (Mathematics II for physicists), Uni Bonn, Summer 2022.

Other Projects

• A C++ algorithm computing Q-rational points on a cubic curve over Q.
• I write occasionally some notes on my Zhihu Blogs in Chinese.
