Yusheng Luo
Assistant Professor, Mathematics
Academic focus:
My research is in dynamics and geometry, especially the dynamics of rational maps on the Riemann sphere, the corresponding moduli space, and its interplays with Kleinian groups, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmuller theory and Berkovich dynamics.
Current research project:
I am currently working on several projects to understand the connections between rational maps, Kleinian groups and circle packings.
