Biography

I am is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor (postdoc) of School of Mathematics and Southeast Center of Mathematics and Biology at Georgia Institute of Technology. My mentor is Dr. Greg Blekherman, and I also collaborate with Dr. Daniel Goldman’s CRAB Lab on the study of animal locomotions.

In the Fall 2020 semester, I am teaching Math 3012 - Applied Combinatorics, which is in hybrid mode.

I was born and raised in Beijing, China. My name in Simplified Chinese is 林博.
