Research Interest

My research interest lies in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics around derived category of coherent sheaves, including (homological) mirror symmetry, Donaldson-Thomas type invariants, Bridgeland stability, Hodge theory and quantum cohomology.

Currently, I’m interested in Bridgeland stability and semiorthogonal decomposition.
