About me
My name is Freid Tong and I am a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University's Center for Mathematical Sciences and Applications. Here my mentor is Prof. S.T. Yau. I obtained my Ph.D. in mathematics from Columbia University in April 2021, my advisor was Prof. D.H. Phong.
My research interest is in complex geometry, geometric analysis, and nonlinear PDEs.
I'm on the job market for tenure-track jobs starting in Fall 2024. Here is my CV and Google scholar.
I'm an organizer of the Geometry and Tacos online conference series. The next one will be in May 2024 on the topic of Hermitian Yang-Mills Connections.
