I am a master's student in mathematics at Yeshiva University since January 2024, where I continued to participate in instructional efforts as an assistant and later an adjunct instructor since Summer 2024. I received my undergraduate and other master's degrees from Peiyang ('Tientsin,' 'Tianjin') University, Clemson University, Hult International Business School, and University of Pennsylvania respectively. Previously, I worked on software documentation (or technical writing), software development and K-8 computer science education; I had tutored voluntarily students at different age levels (pre-K, secondary, and adults). Since recently, my leisure time is occasionally spared on some efforts in healthcare fundraising.
In Spring 2025, I'm taking Network Science, Numerical Methods, and Differential Equations while preparing for a topic for thesis.
In Fall 2024 I took Computational Topology, Mathematical Logic (through audits at CUNY), and Mathematics of Finance courses, while instructing the single-variable calculus session at Yeshiva; throughout the week I sometimes looked at the mathematics seminars at CUNY-Graduate Center.
In Summer 2024 I was studying a 2023 workshop on Structural Equation Modeling while taking Intro to American Politics and Legal and Ethical Environment of Business along with a few vacational and academic visits to the Science Museum of Long Island (Manhasset, N.Y.), downtown Princeton and University, N.J., University of Lynchburg and Liberty University [.png], VA, and the New England area [.png] respectively. Attended MAA's OPEN Math workshop on inclusive, active learning for the week of June 3rd as well as attending Team-Based Inquiry Learning for the week of June 24th. Scheduled to tentatively teach MAT 1412: Calculus I during the July semi-asynchronous session. From July to August I was also teaching/hosting a (homeschooling) course for adolescent literacy on dialogic reading, on an important category of texts which would help adolescent as well as adult/senior or second-language learners of English contextualize much conversationally, both in oral and written forms.
In Spring 2024, I was taking Ordinary Differential Equations, Introduction to Analysis, Functions of a Complex Variable, and Linear Algebra (audit) while hosting a weekly recitation. In Fall 2023, I was taking Abstract Algebra I, Mathematical Statistics I, and auditing Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III, all at the Department of Mathematics at West Chester University, while tutoring math and computer science topics for five hours a week there. As of June 2023, I had already graduated from Graduate School of Education of University of Pennsylvania, and temporarily moved away from Philadelphia, PA.
