I’m a friendly, easy going, open-minded math researcher. I was born in China and studied in USA, now I'm working in Japan.

For guests: Please read my room description before send me a request :-)

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

My favorite book is Haruki Muramaki's Norwegian Woods. I've read it around 10 times for a decade.

I'm also an average anime enjoyer, watching movies directed by Makoto Shinkai (fav: 5 cm per second) and Hayao Miyazaki (fav: Castle in the Sky). My random personal Japanese anime list: Sword Art Online, Monogatari series, Gintama, One Punch Man, Fate (Zero & Stay Night), Run with the Wind, Ajin: Demi-Human, Classic Literature Club, Shiki, etc.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

I successfully defended my PhD in Mathematics in June 2024. I'm Dr. Chen now.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I can teach almost all college math contents, some programming, basic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tricks, native Chinese Mandarin, Hokkien / Taiwanese.

I love running and accomplished my first full marathon (26 miles / 42 km) in May 2023. We can run together!

I learn foreign languages (mainly Japanese) and I am open to any interesting things you're willing to teach!

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I've studied in several universities among China, United States and Canada, and taught high school, undergraduate (mainly), graduate courses in California for 5 years, and now work in a top university in Japan, so feel free to ask me anything about US/China/Japan higher education. I enjoy sharing and discussing multi-cultural topics!
