About Me

I am Xiongxin Yang (杨熊鑫). My research interests lie in the general area of theoretical computer science (or more broadly, mathematics in computer science), with a focus on counting and sampling. Recently, I have also been working on computational geometry.

Now, I am a research assistant at New York University Shanghai, where I am fortunately mentored by Professor Jie Xue. Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree in computer science from School of Information Science and Technology, Northeast Normal University, where I had the privilege of being extensively guided by Professor Zhiguo Fu. During my undergraduate years, I also benefited greatly from the guidance of Professor Yitong Yin at Nanjing University.

Beyond research, I also like to see things from a theoretical perspective, such as social science, art, literature. Although I don't have much relevant expertise. 😶
