Hi! I'm Jinghui (Albert) Yang (杨景辉). You may pronounce my name as "Jeeng-whee."
I’m a second-year PhD student in mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Mona Merling. Email: yangjh@sas.upenn.edu
My office is located in room 3C15 of the David Rittenhouse Lab.
I received my B.S. in math from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, May 2021, and my M.S. in math from the University of Oxford, Jul 2022 (Thesis: Homotopy Groups of Spheres in Homotopy Type Theory).
Here is my CV (Last modified: Sep 2024).
I have two parallel areas of interest: one in homotopy theory and the other in algebraic K-theory and topological cyclic homology. Specifically, I am interested in computations in algebraic K-theory via topological cyclic homology, as well as in computations within chromatic/equivariant/motivic (stable) homotopy theory.

I was awarded the Most Outstanding Student in Mathematics Major, Mar 2021. More Details...
I received my high school diploma from Hefei No.8 High School, Anhui, China. There, I spent three years and met my girlfriend.
Before transferring to the math major, I was a student in CS major. Here are some of the programming languages I can master with a corresponding skill level visualized in the progress bar.
I am a big fan of astronomy. Previously, I was the president of the astronomy club at the university. Below are some photographs (taken by members) of the observation of the Gemini Meteor Shower in Huairou, Beijing, organized by me in Dec 2017.
