I am a 4th year graduate student at UC Berkeley, working on probability
under the supervision of Prof. Yuval Peres .
Before coming to Berkeley, I earned my B.S. at School of Mathematical Sciences , Peking University.
I have been working on mixing times of Markov chains, with focus on the Ising model and random walks on random graphs.
