About

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Jinghui Albert Yang (杨景辉).

You may pronounce my name as "Jeeng-whee." Starting Aug 2023, I am a PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor's Degree in math from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, May 2021, and my Master's Degree in math at the University of Oxford, Jul 2022. Here is my CV (Last modified: Oct 2022).

My interest area is the homotopy theory. In particular, I am interested in topics in algebraic K-theory, chromatic/equivariant/motivic (stable) homotopy theory.



I was the co-host of the seminar on Homological Mirror Symmetry in Oxford, Jun 2022-Present. See here.

Experience

Work Experience

Asset Management Intern Jun-Sep 2021

I was engaged in investment banking at the Department of Asset Management, Guoyuan Securities Co. The main task is to analyze market conditions, select the best investment portfolio for clients, and assist in managing various asset management projects. I created a program to analyze several indicators of private equity funds (such as the Sharpe ratio).

Astrophotography

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.
