About Me

• I am an assistant professor in mathematics at UC Davis since Fall 2023.
• I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics (PACM) at Princeton University under the supervision of Prof. Amit Singer from 2020 to 2023. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from University of Minnesota under the supervision of Prof. Gilad Lerman.
• I am actively seeking Ph.D. students. If you are interested in working with me, please send your CV to ypshi at ucdavis dot edu.
