Brief History

I received my Ph.D. degree in Dec. 2007 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Then I came to University of New South Wales to act as a research fellow. I became a university lecturer in the department of applied mathematics at University of New South Wales from Jan. 2011.

Currently, I am a full professor in School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New South Wales (since Jan. 2022).
