Research Interests: Spectral Theory of Schrödinger Operators; Quantum Dynamics
I am interested in limit-periodic Schrödinger operators, which can be regarded as generated by continuous sampling
along the orbits of a minimal translation of a Cantor group. Within this frame, I am studying some basic and important roles in quantum dynamics,
like Lyapunov exponents, integrated densities of states, spectrum types (a.c.,s.c. & p.) and etc.

What are mathematicians doing?
Many people don't understand what mathematicians are doing, since math hasn't direct influence to our society.
It is my pleasure to recommend an artical written by William Thurson, the fields medal winner, introducing you to the world of mathematicians.
