I am a postdoc at University of Luxembourg since September 2023, under the supervision of Karin Melnick.
I am on the job market the 2025-2026 academic year.
I received my PhD in Math in May 2023, from The Ohio State University where my thesis advisor was Andrey Gogolev.
My name in simplified Chinese: 张丹彧.
Research
I am broadly interested in questions with a flavor of understanding the underlying topology and / or geomerty of the spaces with the presence of dynamics (or maybe vice versa), though it might appear that I study smooth dynamics with hyperbolicity.
Papers and preprints
- Non-examples of fibrewise Anosov flows, joint with Neige Paulet. In preparation, stabilized draft can be shared upon request.
- Abstract: We study the obstruction preventing some non-algebraic 3D Anosov flows from serving as the base of a fiberwise Anosov flow, which points to potential directions for positive answers if one wants to find non-algebraic (fibrewise) Anosov flows in dimension $\geq 7$.
- Anosov diffeomorphisms on a product of surfaces (2022). arXiv. Geometriae Dedicata 219, 7 (2025).
- Structural stability for fibrewise Anosov diffeomorphisms on principal torus bundles (2021). arXiv. Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems. 2024;44(1):334-352.
