Hi! I am a research fellow at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS). I obtained my Ph.D. at Fudan University under the supervision of Prof. Meng Chen.

My research interests lie in birational algebraic geometry, with a particular focus on boundedness theory. My recent work concerns the boundedness of polarized foliated surfaces and threefolds, polarized log Calabi–Yau fibrations, and klt stable minimal models. I am also interested in explicit birational geometry, such as effective birationality and explicit lower bounds for the volumes of $\epsilon$-lc polarized surfaces and threefolds.

I am always happy to meet and exchange ideas with researchers from around the world working in birational geometry and moduli theory. I am currently learning more about moduli theory and would particularly welcome opportunities to discuss it with researchers in the area. With travel support from KIAS, I may be able to cover part of my own expenses for research visits. If you would like to discuss mathematics or invite me to visit your institution, please feel free to get in touch. I enjoy traveling and would be delighted to visit new places.

We investigate the boundedness problem for log Calabi-Yau fibrations whose bases and general fibers are bounded. We prove that the total spaces of log Calabi-Yau fibrations are bounded in codimension one after fixing some natural invariants. We also prove that the total spaces are bounded if, in addition, the irregularity of the general fibers vanishes. Then we apply our results to the boundedness problem for stable minimal models and fibered Calabi-Yau varieties.

Boundedness of stable minimal models with klt singularities

We investigate the singularities and boundedness of a special kind of algebraic varieties so-called stable minimal models, which are constructed and studied by Birkar. Given a klt stable minimal model with bounded relative volume, if we fix the dimension, Iitaka volume, and a DCC set controlling coefficients, then we show that the singularities of the klt stable minimal model can be controlled uniformly. Furthermore, we prove that with certain bounded data, stable minimal models with klt singularities form a bounded family.
