Outside Math

Me in 2006.

Relationship

My girlfriend is Lillian Zhang, NYU Math PhD candidate. We've gone through a lot in our days in New York, from Century Park to Flushing, from Newport to Coney Island. We buried ourselves in the love tales at Seattle as well as in the forest and valleys at Yellowstone. Our anniversary is October 7th.

Bouldering

I am an amateur (shamelessly) V2–V3 climber, mostly in New York and Shanghai.

New York: VITAL (West Harlem, Lower East Side).

Shanghai: Banana Climbing(金虹桥,延安西路,Banana+嘉里合集); CAMP4 岩肆(八号桥); Benchmark 3.0(荟聚); GOAT 2.0 (徐家汇TPY中心).

Others include Portside Boulders (Osborne Park, Perth); Climbing District (Buttes-Chaumont, Paris); LOOK ROCK Bouldering Park (Okinawa); Banana Climbing(亲橙万象汇) and MTC 顶峰攀岩 (Wuhan); 心跳攀岩 (Nanjing).

Music

I sang Tenor 1 for Elite A Cappella (Octave Fusion) at NYU Shanghai from Spring 2021 to Fall 2022, trained by Katherine Girvin and Gabriel Song. This was among my most precious memories from my undergraduate years.

Literature

I served as President of Literature Club at NYU Shanghai (2021–2022), and Vice President at Nanyang Model High School (2018–2019).
