Research Interests: 

I am a third year DPhil student supervised by Prof Xunyu Zhou  and Dr Hanqing Jin in the Mathematical and Computational Finance Group. I completed my BSc in Applied Mathematics at Peking University and my MSc in Financial Mathematics at National University of Singapore.  I am also a MCR member at Balliol College and supported by the Clarendon Fund Scholarship.

My research includes optimal stopping problems, applied PDEs and numerical methods. Currently, I focus on the optimal stopping problem with prospect preference.
