I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Director of Online Programs in the College of Science at Purdue University. I lead College participation in university-wide online graduate initiatives, including the pan-Purdue M.S. in Artificial Intelligence and M.S. in Data Science. My research spans algebraic geometry and number theory, with recent work at the interface of logic/VC density and data-driven methods.
I’m actively interested in AI for mathematics (LLM-assisted reasoning, formal methods) and quantitative modeling.



Teaching (Fall 2025):

M598: Applied Etale Cohomology

M351: Elementary Linear Algebra
Note: All course information for M351 is available through your course Brightspace page.



Research: I'm mostly interested in algebraic geometry/number theory. More recently, I've become interested in some aspects of model theory, logic, and AI for mathematics. You can find more information and some papers/preprints here.


Algebraic Geometry Seminar: see here for more information.


Learning Seminar:

Most semesters, I and some members of the algebraic geometry/number theory group organize some sort of learning seminar.

Spring 2025: Condensed Mathematics (see here).

Fall 2024:The Weil Conjectures, see here for more information.

Fall 2021: We (Tong Liu, Dan Le, Shiang Tang) organized a learning seminar on Mazur's Eisenstein Ideal Paper, see here for more information.
