I am now a Professor at the Division of Applied Mathematics of Brown University.

I received my Ph.D. in August 2005 at the Department of Mathematics in the University of Minnesota, and my advisor was Prof. Nicolai Krylov. During the academic year 2005-06, I was an L.E. Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago. From September 2006 to July 2007, I was a postdoc fellow at the School of Mathematics at IAS, and I visited IAS again in the fall semester of 2008. In fall 2007, I joined the Division of Applied Mathematics of Brown University.

Currently, I am also on the editorial boards of
SIAM J. Math. Anal.
J. Differential Equations
Annals of Applied Mathematics
Communications in Mathematical Research
Communications on Pure and Applied Analysis
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations.
