Research Interest The topic of my PhD research was discrete geometry, including sphere packings, polytopes, codes, graphs, hyperbolic reflection groups, etc. They remain my research interests. Around 2017, I developed interest in complex analysis and differential geometry, with focus on minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces. I'm in collaboration with physicists, chemcists, material scientists, etc., to apply the mathematical results in natural sciences.
