I am an assistant professor at the Department of Mathematics, Southern University of Science and Technology, starting from August 2025. I am interested in harmonic analysis and geometric measure theory. 


I obtained a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, where I was supervised by Professor Malabika Pramanik. Previously, I also held postdoctoral positions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California, Los Angeles.


Here is my Curriculum Vitae as of August 2025.



I am currently working on the following topics:

  1. Decoupling theory for various geometric objects in the Euclidean space.
  2. Curved Kakeya problems and their related maximal operators.

Theses:

  1. Kakeya and restriction problems in harmonic analysis (my master thesis, 2017): Link
  2. Configurations and decoupling: a few problems in Euclidean harmonic analysis (my PhD thesis, 2021): Link
Notes/Slides:
  1. Study guide for "On restriction projections to planes in $\mathbb R^3$", with Tainara Borges and Siddharth Mulherkar, (2024), Link
  2. A Study Guide for A Study Guide for the l^2 decoupling Theorem by Bourgain and Demeter (2016) (Link to [Bourgain-Demeter]) and (Link to my note)
  3. A few remarks on decoupling (Link)
  4. Equivalence of decoupling constants (Link)
