Personal Information

I was born in Fuzhou, China, and got my B.S. in Mathematics at Peking University , Beijing, China in 2007. In 2012, I accomplished my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics at the Pennsylvania State University under the supervision of Professor Yakov Pesin. Right now I am a visiting Assistant Professor in the department of Mathematics at Michigan State University, working with Prof. Huyi Hu.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in dynamical systems and ergodic theory. Currently, I am working on the theory of nonuniform and partial hyperbolicity in smooth dynamical systems, more specifically, in the following aspects:

(a) the "coexistence phenomenon" of zero and nonzero Lyapunov exponents in various smooth systems;

(b) Existence of SRB measures for some nonuniformly or partially hyperbolic systems;

(c) Stochastic properties of some hyperbolic systems, such as decay of correlations, central limit theorem, etc.

I am also interested in fractal geometry and dimension theory in dynamical systems.
