About Me
I am on a 3-year postdoc contract with The University of Arizona, Department of Mathematics, associated with the NSF-funded Arizona Teacher Initiative of Institute for Mathematics and Education, from 2007 to 2010. During the years from 2002 to 2007, I was a graduate student at the Department of Mathematics, Brandeis University, working with my thesis advisor Dr. Ira Gessel in the area of algebraic combinatorics. Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in mathematics in Nankai University, China.
Teaching
I am currently teaching Algebra for Mathematics Education (Math 505c) in the June of 2009.Research
Quotes
No matter what it is, there is nothing that cannot be done. If one manifests the determination, he can move heaven and earth as he pleases. But because man is pluckless, he cannot set his mind to it. Moving heaven and earth without putting forth effort is simply a matter of concentration.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo in "Shadow of the Leaves".
