Biographical Sketch

             "Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe."

             I can speak Chinese and English; but without love, they are nothing.

     I can do math, from arithmetic to topology; but without love, they are nothing.

   I can teach, from newborn to adult; but without love, teaching becomes hurting.

I like doing research, from mathematics to human beings. They are both amazing!  

                    But without love, research may become hunting, and hurting.

                                           My life goal: never stop learning;

                                                       Never stop loving...

Research Interests

Primary interest: How to help my students build a positive relationship with math. 

Other interests: Mathematics as a language, Mathematics discourse, Mathematical identity, Math Teacher Preparation, Math learning of English language learners
