Miscellaneous
- Two mathematicians that I deeply admire:
- Jim Simons: yes, that Simons.
- Michel Talagrand: for his profound insight in developing universal methods to approach problems in probability, his exceptional clarity in explaining them, and his great sense of humor.
- The art of (near) symmetry: link
- I started playing badminton and chess since I was six — back when the toughest opponents were still human, not AI-powered robots. I’m also drawn to hiking and the outdoors, and always up for learning new sports.
- I enjoy cooking and trying new places when I can, secretly hoping that someday I might become an okay chef.
- Some of my favorite writings:
- 兰亭集序 (Lantingji Xu)
- Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
- The World of Yesterday: Memoires of a European
- “莫说相公痴，更有痴似相公者。” — 《湖心亭看雪》 张岱
Say not my passion madness, as I am not alone.
