I am a postdoc at University of Luxembourg since September 2023 (until February 2027), under the supervision of Karin Melnick.

I am on the job market during the 2026-2027 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 geometry of the spaces with the presence of dynamics (or maybe vice versa), though it might appear that I study smooth dynamics with hyperbolicity.

In particular, recently I am (or should be) mostly thinking about centralizers and some math physics with Jing…
