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.
