Hello, I am a professor at Department of Mathematics and an affliated faculty with CMDA (Computational Modeling and Data Analytics) program, Virginia Tech.

My area of research is scientific computing, applied mathematics and data-driven modeling and computation. We are interested in using modern data-driven, reduced order modeling and classical numerical analysis as tools to simulate highly complex and high dimensional multiscale phenonmena arising from science and engineering. I received my B.S. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2003 and Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from Brown University in 2007. After a postdoctoral position at the University of Texas at Austin, I was a faculty member at Michigan State University (2011-) before the recent move to Virginia Tech.

I am currently recruiting highly motivated Ph.D. students and postdocs. One postdoc opening is immediately available at https://careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/job/534113/postdoctoral-associate
