About

I am currently a Shuimu Scholar postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, in the group of Youjin Zhang. I received my Ph.D. from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University in June 2024, advised by Shuai Guo. Before that, I received my B.Sc. in mathematics from Peking University.

I work on mathematical physics, with an emphasis on algebraic geometry and integrable systems.

I am currently on the job market for the 2025–2026 academic year.

My name in Chinese characters is 季策 (Ji, Ce). For non-native Chinese speakers, please feel free to pronounce my name as you think it should be pronounced :)
