I am a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics at Tiangong University, China. I earned a B.S. in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Huaibei Normal University (2016–2020). During the same period, I pursued a minor in Accounting and earned a B.M. degree (2017–2020). Since 2022, I have been pursuing my Master’s degree in Mathematics at Tiangong University. In 2024, I transitioned to the combined Master-PhD program. Professor Jinzhi Lei supervises me.

Main research interests and directions

My research focuses on the intersection of applied mathematics and life sciences, particularly employing mathematical modeling and quantitative approaches to investigate complex systems in biomedicine. Currently, my project focuses on mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis of tumor-immune interactions. I am particularly interested in integrating theoretical models with experimental/clinical data to uncover tumor immune evasion mechanisms through mathematical modeling, thereby providing quantitative decision support for precision medicine.
