I am an associate professor at the Department of Mathematics, Southern University of Science and Technology. I am interested in harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory and fractal geometry.
I obtained a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia, where I was supervised by Professor Malabika Pramanik. Previously, I also held postdoctoral positions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California, Los Angeles (Partially funded by the Croucher Postdoctoral Fellowship).
